no the S41 were known to have problem on its GPU 8600M due to its soldering thing cannot stand when overheating, its accoured when using the unit for 2 or 3 years, sometime maybe sooner you get the problem,
but the predecessor unit S42 are using different GPU and the design / soldering on the chip are better than the old one, so basically its just fine with S42, |

Does it mean the gpu will not be able to utilise its 512 mb ram? |

I don't think malaysian got p8800 version.
the gpu is 256mb dedicated, can be shared up to 512mb. still not a problem, it is only problem when you are playing in high resolution like 1920x1080. |

When i pick the unit it come default by 2GB DDR2, then i got offer another 2 GB by the same
price, so when install the system now is 4GB, when i check back it suppose only total of 3GB on the offer but maybe the sales person has thougt the unit come with 1GB.. And for the GPU Unit it have 256MB DDR3, not 1-GB. But when you install 4GB of ram the GPU Memory will Increase to 2.04GB. (9600M GT at this unit have 256 DDR-3 Dedicated Memory). Be note* Memory differences either 512 - 256 - 1GB will not make any effects changes. when you install it on the system it also will take little amount from the main system memory RAM. Even though the S42 come with 256 DDR3 it will beat down even 512MB or 1GB for DDR2 Version. I recommended this unit because it have the every bit of performance for that price, yes you can choose the other brand or model, but trust me no other brand ( category ''14 Inch'' ) with this GPU and Price. mosts of this 14 category come with shitty GPU. if have one its maybe not in Malaysia- like ASUS N81Vp with ATi or MSI with 9600M GT. but way to MAHAL then this baby So eastwest my advise is.. just take it This post has been edited by Swordsmen: Nov 4 2009, 10:34 PM |

QUOTE(DoubleU @ Nov 5 2009, 06:12 AM) btw TS here's the benchie of S42 if you haven't seen it. Hitting 6k on 3dmark06. so definately worth the money since its RM3k ish. Like what others said, the S42 could probably be the 3rd most powerful 14" lappy.... or most powerful 14" in malaysia. I've already spend less time with games now..... just once a while play game...but it is good to have enough power when you need it  This post has been edited by eastwest: Nov 5 2009, 09:15 AM |
