what la u guys...so fast page 2 liao....

btw yesterday played Dirt 2 again, turn everything to low and off AA, still getting ~30fps only..i might as well turn it on for eyecandy ^^
and i also accidentally played the game with overclock setting 500/1350/800
temperature was around 97C, and is slowly increasing to 98C, although very slow la..it's like every 30seconds i see temperature jump to 98C for a split second, then drop back 97C, and that is after at least 30 minutes gameplay..i guess this clock speed is usable

btw the OC setting was played before i drop all the setting to all low...iirc, my settings are:
2x MSAA
Mirrors: Mid
Night time Lighting: Mid
Skidmark: on
Distance Vehicle: Mid
Crowd: Low (don wanna off..empty stadium racing really no syok...)
Driver: Medium
Tree: Medium

the rest, low

and with those stress setting(especially the AA), and OC setting, i get 97C after 20-30 minute gameplay...although the left palmrest is very hot, but the temperature is definitely within acceptable range...as long as nothing is higher then 98C...

98C? mine already kena 98C with factory clock on native res + 2x MSAA stress test....furmark really cannot compare, it stress ur GPU the way games normally wouldnt, so don mind that one really...

btw the average framerate was 22-30fps, and occasional drop to >15fps..maybe cos i am downloading and the download manager is written data to disk? haha...

class 4 or class 6, class 4 means minimum 4MB transfer rate, while class 6 means 6MB/s minimum...correct me if i am wrong..
however, i think in normal occasion class 4 is enough, cos even my class 4 8GB microSD card also, transfer rate using card reader is ~20MB/s, unless is a whole bunch of tiny files

not sure about CF, but SDHC is is actually a standard, it was meant for 4GB and above...in any case, it's safer to get SDHC compared to SD, for higher compatibility

this is unforgivable...tongue.gif

anyway, 9600m is good in handle games...even the games coming in the futures...normally games maker would make their games comply with most GPU...
after all...there are many GPU that come out lately, not even up to our mark...
so for gaming concern...9600m should still last a 3 years (plus, let's face it, there are less and less games for PC already......)

that one must remove the LCD first, then only possible...

take away the front top part(the power button portion), then disconnect the LCD, unscrew the lcd, take out keyboard, gently, cos there is a connecter underneath it, and after that, u should be able to remove the top part...but dont try forcefully...i wont be responsible for any damage cause.. XD

ya...quite a lot of small things to pay attention one...

oh ya, news flash, i played Just Cause 2, and lowest possible setting in native res only give s42 ~25fps, but i notice the GPU temperature is just around 87C, means not yet stress to max, so i did overclocking, i tested 530/1400/850, and the framerate raise till i can get ~28fps with 2x MSAA, without MSAA is >30fps most of the time. Temperature also is not all that bad, 96C going to 97C after around 40 minutes gameplay, and without cooling pad, quite a stable temperature i would say...

didnt try medium setting wor..cos the lowest setting also, everything is like crysis medium with partial high setting liao...and btw there are totally no flicker at all...looks like 530/1400/850 is within OC range for me...i think as long as core is lower then 575, everything should be fine..

Hm hm, you guys think like this i s fair comparison?

to be honest, DO NOT TRUST 3D mark at all..too many times they try to cheat, and drivers being written to enhance on it, it's not really that fair to compare, use real game performance, push it up, and run the same game, see if u get extra fps

i recall when i last time used previous DoX's driver, i cannot push the sliders to a too high value, it will stop me saying value invalid or whatever one...
but the latest DoX(195.78 right?) no such problem...maybe u can try nautis's drivers..u can set increment bit by bit, increase 50, apply, then increase again, and repeat..but be careful, i remember i had problem going back to stock clock a few times, same thing, invalid value was entered bla bla bla...need to restart and do it again...program bug i think

Yup, i played with this setting all the time but seems like today the heat just way off, wondering maybe the weather also the problem because today is way hot sweat.gif...

Maybe because i use different driver?? Now using 197.16 smile.gif...Dox 195.62 is better with temp nod.gif

lol miahahah i think got more to do with the driver you're using. If you switch to 195.62 see what temp you get? cause i don't think it can hit 100C

sorry, nope. but i think all laptops are disassembled with similar method la, take off the upper front panel(power button part), take away LCD, detach keyboard, detach upper casing, unscrew all the inner screw, then the mobo can come out liao...

but unless you are willing to take the risk, i suggest not to..
and just another finding that i would like to advice...since normally laptop heatsinks would have gaps around ~1-2mm, it's always suggested to use thermal pad instead of thermal paste, but adding copper heatsink would most likely help...

one thing that really bugs me..dunno s42 can trully fit in those copper heatsink a not, cos as i recall the remaining space from mobo to casing aint that much also...


Added on April 12, 2010, 8:58 pm@mia: his result sadly say cannot really represent s42..haha

this week imma going pc fair, so maybe grab a few heatsinks from there maybe...hehe

need to see how first, if the GPU ram cooler really cannot fit, then i'll think of something else...

doh.gif..you should have search for S57 instead of S42 sweat.gif...well, maybe you can sell of your S42 & get S57 instead but do remember that S57 now is RM3299 which with that money you can buy Lenovo Y460 brows.gif...

Ok, just an update for my GPU temp...just a while ago i play BS2 in a room with temp around 20C unsure.gif (well, its cool and breezy in my office laugh.gif)...change the driver to Dox 195.62, and my temp while playing is 87C max...never exceeded 90C, at most maybe will peaked at 89C for just a moment and then go down to 87C...good hmm.gif...

probably can't POST??? since the controller cannot identify 4GB RAM...

anyway, i am running Win7 x64 on my netbook with 1GB... performance is pretty snappy, as long as u dun run too many programs... and with decent battery life as well... slightly more than 4hrs with 3-cell battery...

in Uni it's my main working machine... back in my room it doubles as a digital photo frame and music station as well... laugh.gif

my N81Vp is now more like a server + game...

the only time when it leaves my room is when i go and have some lan parties with my friends in the Uni Residence.. .brows.gif

an no, this Aspire One that i has probably has the most basic config... it even came preloaded with XP... but heck, it's cheap...

oh, and did i mention it has a 802.11n adapter??? tongue.gif that is really rare for a netbook...

as for RAM, this can be really subjective... i am happy with 1GB only... it's already good enuf for my work...

the fatness is becuz of the aspect ratio??? since 16:9 will make the monitor shorter and fatter than 16:10...

anyway, personal experience with Acer's Ultrathin design is that, u'll appreciate it... it makes portability a much easier task... nod.gif even my friend is saying that my netbook is much more sleeker and easier to carry compared to his (a N270 NEC netbook that looks like a brick... laugh.gif)

haha ^^...my friend also got one Aspire One (the first batch that also looks like a brick laugh.gif)...

Yes, my thought as well..i think because of the aspect ratio of 16:9 makes it look fatter & shorter...but Acer really good at this as the Notebook looks slim and nice..same goes with 4740G/4745G and others, though they have the same 16:9 ratio...

there's a diff between HD DVD and Bluray. Normal DVD drive can handle HD DVD.

Btw, my k-lite is having problems playing full hd vids, ie 1080p. Need another player. Recomendation? (interesting, my k-lite is perfect up to 720p.

sordanny, what's up submarine... what about the 14" timeline series... its quite slim...

hi doubleU
no would not consider 14 inchers becuz they are harder to carry because of 16:9 screens
it's long.....
13 inchers are the best cuz it's easy to handle

ya, what Lee says is correct...ION platform consist of a 9400M and a Atom

imo ION is the balance between battery life and performance...it can accelerate flash using the 9400M yet maintain low power draw..i read somewhere before this that they claim that the ION is just 5W higher then the whole intel atom + sucks GMA, and yet delivers so much better performance...

well, Ion 1 = Atom N270/N280 + GeForce 9400M chipset, with integrated 9400M G graphic

Ion 2 = Atom N450 + Intel NM10 chipset + Ion 2 GPU (aka GeForce 310M), supporting Optimus technology...

with that it means Broadcom Crystal HD really got no place to stand... laugh.gif

Batusai,

1. Battery cannot charge, common problem for S57...any S57 owners encounter this once, just send over to SC and they will fix it (iirc, they will change the MOBO)

2. Battery life on S57, the least you can do is 2 hours plus, tweak a bit then maybe you can get around 3 hours nod.gif

3. We here all experienced BenQ RMA, so far for me, its quite ok compare to others, not that bad smile.gif

4. S57 got no HYBRID function, only ATi HD4650 for the GPU, there's no Intel GMA like S42 smile.gif

5. S57 won't have the HEAT PALM REST problem as iirc, the GPU are located at somewhere on the left upper side and the HDD is lower right side...and also, S57 is 15.6" which is better in cooling (much more space) compared with S42 smile.gif

rm6.5k vs rm5.9k in 3D Mark 06

but advantage of HD4650 is that it has more RAM and support DX10.1, so it's more future resistant...

and also easier driver update as well... laugh.gif

not that ATi easier to deal with than NV, rather, it's that S42 is real troublesome when comes to driver...

definitely cooler... HD4650 is produced in 55nm while 9600M GT is a 65nm product...

the XP BIOS of S42 would disable the Intel GMA, leaving 9600M GT to be the only graphic adapter usable... if u dun do that, XP Would recognise only Intel GMA and 9600M GT would be disabled...

know what? i bought my XPS at rm4500, after just 2 month now, what you think of my spec with current price? I loled at myself for buying tis laptop....

I also understand mah.... rm4.5k is not cheap, but i want something to do my work with...


i remembered when i bough my S41 few years ago, the first one from John_jay2, immediately after the stock arrive at the shop. all for rm4100 after adding 1GB more ram. sigh.. if it wasn't for the stupid nvidia gpu, i would still be using that i think...

Well, just to update, my temp seems to be ok for now, 185.85 is just great, the temp never exceed 100C while playing games (this is without any cooler & in a non air-con room)...but, my guess is my CPU is running kinda berserk as it always in average temp of 57~62C sweat.gif..no time to pry open my S42 at the moment sad.gif

A42Jk, i3 350M + ATi HD5145@RM2699
A42Jk, i5 430M + ATi HD5145@RM2899
A42Jk, i5 520M + ATi HD5145@RM3199

Seems like back to the price when A42Jr launched...

HD5145 is a renamed from HD4570 with higher clocked, it still DX10.1 and 55nm
should be between HD4570 and HD5470...

Technet has 10... nod.gif

only time when i had problem is when i mixed up the key... used the same one on 2 computers... solved after putting in a new one on one of them...

highwind:
by right no... if there's really such issue, u probably can't even boot up in the first place... looks more like some power issues with the USB port to me (insufficient power or sth)...

It's really very funny...they usb port will eventually fail if i use DC only without any USB devices attached (tried plugging in a pendrive but couldn't recognize it)
If I DC + Batt or Batt only, the usb ports are normal...motherboard power problem?
i got another funny issue..My speakers are not working..It shows that headphone are plugged on eventhough they are not...

dunno is not focus properly or my lens speed too slow until blurry feel...
it's kinda dim in there and my max ISO without fair amount of noise is ISO 100-200, so i had to adjust shutter speed to around 1/6 to 1/15 in there

is there any s57 user out there to clarify???

1. It seems like the BD rom very slow.. formatting takes very long time to load..

2. The harddisk.. it seems very.. after reformat.. on the desktop, the toolbar.. it shows the harddisk as like an external.. plugged in.. but the drive still works lah..

3. and da worst thing here.. i converted da whole HDD into dynamic disk.. and now i duno how to convert back to basic.. the windows wont boot up lah.. aik.. who knows how to convert back eh..

one thing amazing i find with s57.. with latest 10.3a driver.. i can play COD MW2 extra high settings.. full settings with 4x MSAA.. no lag.. except smoke lah.. all way thru fps around 30+ damn..

i think for clean reformat it's better using linux or XP to clean the memory 1st then just run win7. I fusing thumb driver, the whole system is not totally clean even reformat whole partition. Unless using disc...
something like GRP-3 or what ...

use another computer to throw everything into the thumb drive, then boot and format with that thumb drive...

u need to do sth to the thumb drive to make it a bootable device... a search in Google should help u with that...

format ur thumb drive using long format as more easy way ...
if dnt want type dispart
1. list disk
2. select disk (ur thumb driver)
3. clean
4. create partition prmary
5. select partition 1
6. active
7.format fs=NTFS
8. assign
9. exit

from cmd
put a bootable disc into ur dvd room

1. type D: CD BOOT (IF D is ur DVD room or BD ~)
2. type CD BOOT
3. type BOOTSECT.exe /NT60 H:
(H is ur target thumb drive)

Then sell off your S42, or trade with a better one with the like of Y460,N82Jv or maybe N61Ja...those sure can play MW2 with extra high setting also whistling.gif...

iirc, only the HDD warranty is VOID when you take out the HDD (example, changing the HDD)...the others would still be under warranty nod.gif
