yup i locked my processor to 50%. but i didn't do a change of the background layout though. how do you do that ? imma using win7.

edit: it's okay i change the layout via control panel.. changed it to windows 7 basic layout. will see if it helps the batt.

Well, disabling the Aero features will save battery also..mine when on battery, switch to Window classic theme and running just a few apps in the background ..can last me for 3 hours with WiFi on

so, any luck?

Any luck with what?

Anyway, latest report on my BenQ S42. Left 4 Dead gives me some heavy stuttering issue. Even at 40fps the game stutters, while at 40 fps, my friend's laptop with ATI is as smooth as silk.

So, my next task? Install 185.85 dox drivers, hope it works.

LOL nvm, it seems to be a problem with the power savings on Win7. I set to high performance, it works well

haha ^^..encounter the same problem before...because of the power option ..

Well, another report that I forgot to say. Videos are tearing. This pisses me off. Trying to fix it for now.

enabled vsync on the media player?

It's enabled. That's what pissing me off. Oh yea, I'm going to disable triple buffering and see what it does.


That was surprisingly easy. Turn off triple buffering and no more tearing.

i got the SRS installed lah.. just the Qaudio switch crashes..

I have the tray srs icon.. the one press got red cross.. i press on and off.. but i cant hear any difference.. so im like wonder if the button really works..

Try adjusting the SRS in Realtek..change the freq and you'll hear some changes
