QUOTE(Batusai @ Dec 7 2009, 01:17 AM) went to pc fair ystdy.. and well.. been eyeing on 3 lappies at the same price range with asus k40ab.. does the turion model comes with windows 7 home premium?first is lenovo G450. tried it.. kinda sucky to me i'd say.. heat at the palm rest felt.. asus is way way way better at this.. and got a asus laptop booklet.. its asus insulator technology which made the palm rest cool. bravo! acer aspire 4540.. HD4300.. 256mb.. sucky i guess.. score on WEI oni 3.4.. acer is out as soon as i saw that.. as for lenovo.. design.. quality wise.. i think asus stilll wins.. and considering gaming capability.. i believe asus wins alot.. G210M just doesnt seem convincing.. on overall.. thumbs up to asus k40ab.. i actually tot of changing to lenovo.. but the hot palm rest area.. change my mind. haha.. and btw.. theres a shop at hall 3 sellin 2.2Ghz turion model of k40ab.. its rm2099.. Added on December 7, 2009, 2:00 aminstalled the latest driver from asus website.. not working too well.. switching process having some bit problem still.. my comp hang when switching back to power gpu.. so.. reverted back to older one.. |

somehow my fan speed doesnt increase when the GPU heats up (80C) but the fan is ok when the CPU gets hot. How to make the fan spin faster? (besides opening the casing and put some wires) anyway to fix this using softwares?

QUOTE(Najmods @ Mar 28 2010, 02:39 AM) Latest Catalyst 10.3 works well, the 1.2V still works, thus the more than 730-740MHz core clock is possible just like 10.3 beta Why not the official one? Shouldnt it be better? But download the mobility one, not the official. Google for it |

Can you play BattleField 2 BadCompany on this notebook? Mine is stuck at 5-30 FPS. Any tips to tweak it?
