ouh, i thought the athlon is better coz it is for pc rite..
i usually hear ppl use athlon for their pc and the turion is for the lappy..
how to know if it zm or rm??

The Athlon in laptop is just the name, it bears little resemblance to its desktop counterparts. Its just a Turion with only 2 power planes instead of 3

ZM carries Turion Ultra name with 2x1MB L2 cache, while RM is just normal Turion with 2x512kB L2 cache

well.. u can give it a try.. i reckon asus has completely sold out athlon models in malaysia so turion comes in.. it proves that its still in the production..

For the Bios update, it may be a fix to accompany the re-released ATi driver.

As for the VGA driver 8.673, it is still the same version that was released in November but this time it " may "work.
The previous 2 release was miserable enough for everyone so I can't say anything yet.

And liverpool got pawned.

lolzz.. so the bios update is just for the latest driver lar.. worth give it a try. how about the performance on the new graphic? better?

No noticeable performance increase in my opinion. Well shouldn't expect much from driver update right.

VGA Driver is still buggy. ARRGHHH....

Relax, I'm not bothered with PowerXpress anymore after my lightweight mod, as it can reach 2 hours usage with batteries in dGPU. Like you said, don't expect much from driver update, if the old one works then why upgrade?

Anyone tried Cat 9.12 yet? I'll try after my final exam finished tomorrow

if cost around RM7xx..
better i spend that money on other things

hmm.. come to think of it.. power express doesnt help much in decreasing battery drain in k50ab.. its just a layman's feel that it helps..

and from what i see.. it does decrease the overall temperature of the CPU.. and it feels kinda laggy after prolong usage..

frankly.. tis lappy's power usage isnt that good..

The HD3200 does gives some extra minutes more than HD4570. But not much to shout about.

i'll be switching to dGPU mode right now.. and testing it with the latest ATI 9.12 lets see hows the performance.. and tests if the computer lags anymore.

How come everytime i try updating catalyst the screen will become blank(can only see my wallpaper). How does one update the driver? display driver first then only catalyst? what about bios driver. Please help.

u just have to run the whole catalyst installer.. that will do the job.. theres a warning down there.. screen may flicker when u update the driver.. its normal..

for the bios.. its been told many times.. maybe najmods shud include in the first page..

download the bios files.. extract into root of HDD.. den restart.. go into bios.. advance. start easy flash. select the extracted bios file..

Even you don't see it, I already put a guide how to update BIOS on the first page, its on 2nd post

lolz.. pardon me.. it just makes me wonder how those ppl dont see it.. its like i nvr have to refer to the 1st posts anymore.. paiseh

the receipt is used to deduct tax d , and how to register ?

You guys sure K40ab and k50ab now with rm75 proc??? lyp here i come!!!!
