Me too ;D

I've Tried Firefox 3.6 beta, it's better than 3.5.7, but chrome still faster a lot.

erm, which 1 is better for gaming..
amd turion or C2D??

If you want to ask general question please do so in recommendation thread. I want to keep this thread clean. The answer is of course C2D, AMD CPU in mobile market is slow and only be used in budget notebook

i'm sorry..
i thought this thread is discussing all type of proc fo k40ab/k50ab..
btw, thx for the answer coz i might get one of this..
and i dont know why the price is the same between the C2D and the Athlon..

i've installed virtual camera and camera driver, bt the FN+V hotkey still not working (others is working)
Btw, anyway to turn on the webcam? @@

u install all atk driver???install life frame,,,,,err jz click the shortcut of software at desktop lor..hehe...i jz install wadever download from the asus site

why sometimes my 40ab cant back from sleep?the screen remains dark...
quite disappointed...sometimes the lappy is also slow like the desktop i used b4 this lappy, it used intel celeron... so slow when multitasking more than 3 light&medium program...

have you updated your bios?? the default bios has trouble in sleep mode..

Hi guys.

Where to get the best offer for K40AB? Area KL/Sgor. Planning to get one next month..
And it does not come with preinstalled windows right?
Does it fully support windows 7 so far? or is it safer to just install windows xp for light gaming sake..

Thanks.

Get it from Hikari85 from this forum
RM2155 without free gift include asus bag for k50ab
RM2055 without free gift include asus bag for k40ab
ALL INCLUDE POSTAGE.

Game? Not bad . With window 7 ultimate 32bit
L4d playable with AA off , smooth at medium to low setting.
C&C3 tiberium war high to highest setting runs smoothly .

u can always go to lowyat or digital mall.. look around..

The last unit in all IT has being taken by some one. Even the last display unit K50ab already taken by someone. There is another K40ab on display in a shop next to startec. That model is did not come with the new RM-75 processor. Price is 1899 without OS.

Ask around lowyat all also say no stock.

It seems like this model is indeed still a hot cake despite the introduction of newer laptops:D Or is it ASUS have phased out this model for newer models?

BTW guys, I found more tweaks for GTA IV to makes it smoothly, I run at 1024x768 with 16:9 aspect ratio, turn off reflection, shadow and texture quality to low (other setting medium for water quality and highest texture filter quality). View distance at 15, detail distance and vehicle density 25 while shadow density is 0. I got average of 20.12fps, which is quite smooth for me

asus K series intel core i3 gonna come out soon

asus k42 series with ati 5470

K40AB with QL-65 for RM1899. Not bad since i got my K50AB QL-64 for the same price last September.





Weep now or never. This is something to drool upon.

Nice! I really REALLY hope the new k42 would have at least GDDR3 memory for its HD 5470 or better still GDDR5. But as I've seen 1GB I supposed it would be GDDR3

wtf,right time to release new model for me.../gg

Marketing gimmick for using 1GB graphics memory. I think it's going to be GDDR3 or worse DDR3.

Now this would suit you better than AW M11x or Asus UL series. Although GT330 is still way better than HD5470. And except for battery life perhaps.

Will cost about RM2.7k - 2.9k ?

Exactly, Its better to opt for smaller but fast memory on low end cards, I would rather have 256MB GDDR3 than 512MB DDR2 in HD4570, likewise on HD5470, its better to have 512MB GDDR5 than 1GB of worthless DDR3, I bet the clockspeed is only at paltry 800MHz

Memory bandwidth of only 8GB/s on our k40AB is pathetic in today games, heck its pathetic in last two years or so, and if it indeed using 800MHz DDR3 in k42 the bandwidth is only 12.8GB/s, compared to mighty 28.8GB/s if they use 900MHz GDDR5 (up to 32GB/s if uses 1GHz)

I swear to God if there is notebook manufacturer uses GDDR5 on HD5470 on 14" display or less I would buy it without even thinking of Alienware M11x, provide that the price is reasonable that is. Even though it only have 4 ROPs even the small increment in memory speed will provide a significant performance improvement because of its high core clocks. Of course Alienware M11x GT 335M (not GT 330M mind you, different core if Notebookcheck is accurate) would be miles better as it have 72 stream processor and 128-bit memory, but unless it uses Core i5 at least I won't buy it, it would lag on some games that dependant on clockspeed

I've been reading AMD would release Phenom II X4 for laptop, but the clockspeed is only around 2~2.3GHz IIRC. I would wait for that just wanted to see how AMD stacks up
