Just did a check on ATI Mobility Modder's forum...Catalyst 10.1 is current not supported..They are working on it...And they say that ATI is helping in the Modder project...Wow...

en, is normal ati is helping with modder project
same goes in linux driver. ATI is more willing than nvidia in developing gpu driver for linux..
which is maintained by community

Never thought ATI would lend a hand to the modder community...I used to use Omega Drivers last time...But they have stopped coming out with new drivers...Thought the manufacturers wouldn't care about lappy graphics... laugh.gif

Ic, now my laptop is like 2 years and a half old. hope is FOC. but the time to get it fix needs 3 weeks based on previous experience sigh.
Now, where did i put my warranty card and receipt hmm......
*
I think your warranty information is in their computer database...They just need to scan the barcode at the bottom of your laptop to get the details...

It's possible...someone here did it before...Just have to negotiate and build a strong case for your arguement...

guys, since now the m11x has launched, the gpu is superb, but the processor is.. sweat.gif

but overall, will it be better than s57? p8700, 4650 vs Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor SU7300 (1.3GHz/800MHz FSB/3M Cache), gt335M shocking.gif
*
Hmm..would the cpu become the bottleneck? with the lower clock speed and lower FSB...And that should be the bottleneck for the DDR3 RAM as well...1366x768 on 11 inch would make the characters all very small....But it's impressive how the manage to squeeze all that into a small machine...the GT335 should be so where near 4650/4670?

Mind to explain why? Usually after warranty they don't covered already right?
*
Because it's not consumer's fault on the faulty chip..it's nVidia's fault..Out of goodwill, benq help to replace the mobo for free...

It seems to be when I use laptop cooler below using belkin cooler where center got a gap for air ventilation, the temp dont go up to 98-105c already, as per normal max around 92c only.

Guess it is because that day I put on my bed, no air ventilation below?
*
Putting laptop on the bed will kill the fan...as you are blocking the air way...heat build up in the laptop and the fan is trying very hard to promote air circulation...

Gosh, been putting all this while  doh.gif  What about putting on the table?
Btw, where is the actual fan for s42?

Btw, don't think I can upgrade my hdd after my warranty expired. Need to wait another 1year+, there is a sticker at the HDD part  doh.gif

I used to do that too...for my previous lappy...simply can resist gaming and surfing net on the bed...lol...try put sumthing to lift up the bottom of your laptop..that should allow the air going thru the air vents..

yo guys, today went sungei wang + lowyat jalan jalan, bought this new cooling pad CM U2 to test..
the thing i like is the fan can adjust position one..so i try adjust one of GPU air vent, another one at the ram air vent there, and stress test, this is what i got after 10 minutes:
[attachmentid=1439480]

before this, 5 minutes of this setting(even without the 2x MSAA) can easily go up to 98C, and that was why i stopped benchmark after that, however, right now, after 10 minutes with the extra stress load on 2x MSAA, the temperature is just 96C and shifting to 97C..i can only say this cooling pad did a great job in cooling..

not to mention, before this, the boot up temperature was maintaining at 59C before i started doing anything with GPU...just now, it's 57C before i did anything...right now is around 61C for idle temp(still dropping slowly i think, if i leave if there, might even get 60C static)

i will try on real time gaming temperature later
*
wow..that's great for the CM U2...how much was it? i went to low yat and BTS also today...haha...mayb we saw each other but dunno..tongue.gif...saw alienware m17x at Thundermatch..1st time see and touch a real machine..tongue.gif

is HTC Tattoo a good phone?

Tattoo is the cheapest android phone...but the catch is it doesn't have capacitive touch screen...therefore no multitouch function for tattoo..
