@eastwest: i think the new W7 partition manager can allow u to shrink drives...u gimme some time, i dig out the article on life hacker for u

should be Win7 x64...

anyway, eastwest, the problem lies in the adoption of x64 OS... S42 came out at the time when the public and OEM have some interest with x64 OS due to the limitation of RAM on x86 OS... S42 by default came with Vista x86, and thus, even if u do the free upgrade, it will still get u Win7 x86 also... thus the lack of x64 driver on BenQ support page...

when i was using the older S41 and switched to Vista x64, i had some problem looking for drivers as well... but of course less troublesome as S42... there's no hybrid graphic on S41.. .

if u want to use Linux, install Window then install Linux, whichever distro u like...

Windows would rewrite the whole MBR such that it is the only boot option... while Linux would add on the Windows' MBR so that u can choose which u want to boot up to...

u can still use the live CD to boot into ur linux and restore GRUB, but then it will cause more trouble la...

Thanks.

Yup, currently 64, maybe after this use 32 bit

if disable builtin gpu, does it mean it is permanently disable? cannot use anymore?

Thanks. but I just want to test linux only, maybe after this i will install in virtual machine...

I think I will install just one main OS..the other os be it windows or linux will be installed in VM...thats why I get myself a P series cpu(which have a hardware virtualization support)....

Yup, more trouble.....

@astria, sounds good, but get a cute and memorable(special) one

Added on November 16, 2009, 12:13 pm@eastwest: the 3.06 bios will disable detection for ur intel card, so yes, basically as long as u use that bios, there is no intel card in ur system, means cannot use at all, only way is to flash back to hybrid bios
also, the link i posted have 64-bit drivers also, try that one out first..note, the temp is reported to be higher then the DoX modded one, but still acceptable..
