orh, u mean the driver ah...

u can use the Win7 beta driver provided by AMD on Vista, it will still work...

but the catch is that u need to ve the original driver from Asus installed first, then AMD's driver will recognize the GPU...

i tried doing so with Catalyst 9.6, but there was a slight problem, i can't untick the option to install CCC, and CCC won't start properly also... i ve yet to try Catalyst 9.7 though...

wat's the spec of U350???

i lol-ed...

GT 120M GDDR3 is better than HD4570...

but if GT 120M uses DDR2, it has the same performance level as HD4570 with GDDR3 (eg Dell Studio 15)

the salesman desparate to sell Acer...

anyway, for most brands, it's approx 1 week provided they ve the parts... even if need to order, i think 1mth is the max...

btw, that salesman say a lot of ppl use Acer, but Dell and HP sell even more than Acer leh...

lol, so dun everytime complain Malaysia boleh...

the graphic card part, it's equipped with a dedicated graphic card, namely ATi Radeon HD 4570, and an integrated one (aka it's on the motherboard and not a separate card). called ATi Radeon HD 3200...

HD4570 offers more performance, but consumes more power... HD3200 is vice versa...

nah, mobile hardware generates much less heat...

desktop C2D - 65W TDP
mobile C2D - 35W TDP

desktop HD4600 - approx. 60W TDP
mobile HD4600 - abt 20W TDP

TDP = Thermal Design Point = amount of heat emitted by the hardware (more heat = more power consumed)

so as u can see, the problem that leads to overheat is ventilation and heatsink problem... the heat tends to accumulate inside the chasis...

everything same as K40Ab, except it's 15" and has the numpad...

the bad is standard for Asus...

Asus standard is 2 yrs int'l warranty...

K50Ab has more space for Asus engineers to play with the heatsinks and heatpipes...

yup...

it doesn't really hurt... juz use only 1 when u need to fiddle with the settings...

forget abt 4860 la... AMD already ve problem keeping up with demand for HD4700...

Vista driver will work in Win7, no problem at all...

for some u may need to run at Compatibility mode...

lol, that i really dun know...

my laptop only has HD4650 and that's all... i think u at least ask BenQ S42 users better for reference... since we re talking abt different driver here...

maybe u can ask the shop to install for u??? driver i think should can juz grab from the driver disc provided rit???

anyway, it's good to know how to install OS and driver also... else next time (touch wood) the computer crash, u know the drill...
