QUOTE(vasan @ Aug 14 2010, 02:01 PM) hmm... seems too much to be explained by a difference in exchange rate.. Ken says it happens sometimes due to 3rd party fees. I'll check with maybank on Monday. Anyway I paypalled the remaining amount so my unit will ship on Monday  OK guys, just an update on my TT issue. There was a 3rd party agent (Citibank) who charged the USD 21 as 'agent fee'. I made some noise at Maybank but no refund was given. I am not sure why no one else here had that problem.. but anyway BE WARNED for any of your future TTs.. p.s. When doing the TT, I did ask the bloke at the counter whether there was any 3rd party, and his reply was along the lines of 'Saya tak tau.. itu dia orang mungkin caj'.

From NBR through an Asus Technical Manager: QUOTE(Gary Key;6600464) Update -
1. We are working with AMD on a driver update (10.8 code) that will solve the GSOD problem (non-ASUS drivers) for users with our current vBIOS and BIOS 0209 and up. I hope to have a release date in the next day or so but the driver has not reached qualification status yet. However, it is a rock solid solution at this point. 2. I am still working with R&D on a vBIOS update but at this point we still have random (.03%) GSOD occurring depending on driver set, BIOS, and vBIOS combination utilized. The problem is that using a previous driver set (10.5) with an older BIOS (before 0209) and the new vBIOS could still result in a random GSOD although it is rare. Also, updating the system with an updated vBIOS before updating the BIOS can create random locks. So we are still discussing how to roll this solution out, in the meantime option 1 is the safe route. 3. We are aggressively working on the missing data input issue that has been reported with Synaptics. 4. I will have some additional information on the TIM reports shortly. Drool, I can't wait

If I'm not mistaken, the cheapest 5.1 gaming headset in the market now is Roccat Kave. Nevertheless, you have to buy an external sound card for better sound quality.

Thanks Jeffrey1987. I kinda like the desgn of roccat kave too but I already own asus xonar u1 and use it own my old desktop. Its kinda redundant to buy Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1. Any other suggestion?

Roccat Kave is indeed a VERY good headset..tried it with music + songs really enjoy it a lot. But then as usual, there will always be a problem..wearing it too long makes ur ear hot n sweaty..the controller/equalizer keeps pulling the headset down if you don't settle it down on the table  anyway, the built in sound card in G73 is not that good? hmm guess need to add more stuff to my monster upgrades TS! would be nice if u update the thread with few of this: 1) Owner List 2) Owner Gathering Date + Successful Gathering (with pics) 3) Problems that can be found in this laptop and Solutions to the problem 4) A list of gear to add up to the monster to make it more "imba"

I think the Logitech G35 and Razer Megalodon works without the additional external soundcard  Anyway the word cheap doesn't goes hand in hand with 5.1/7.2 surround This post has been edited by Viperion: Aug 17 2010, 10:09 AM
