QUOTE(gstoh @ Apr 22 2010, 03:41 PM) just to share a china website regarding Y460/Y560 i guess all you want to know about Y460 and Y560 is in the website =D http://itbbs.pconline.com.cn/notebook/11117096.htmlThanks  I've added the link on 1st page. Added on April 22, 2010, 5:03 pmQUOTE(calvenbj @ Apr 21 2010, 08:23 PM) after some reading on window 7 XP mode.. there are some limitation on it.. especially on those XP software who dealing with 3D graphic and database server communication.. i believe XP mode cant perform well on this virtual XP mode.. thanks . Is there anybody using WIndow XP only on his/her Y460...thanks Just noticed Y460 support page does provide XP drivers, but not all of it especially on Lenovo's own features software like SlideNav, OneKey Theater/Recovery.

I'm just leaving it on and running a few stuffs. Look a the PCH hitting 70..

y460 user.. try to force the cpu to run at low freq , 1.3GHz .. and run some game test.. you will see the temperature is same as normal laptop =D this is what i found, however the game FPS will not really drop, test it then you will know it! XD
through this setting, you don need worry about heat issue when gaming lol

XD through this setting, you don need worry about heat issue when gaming lol You used Lenovo power management to lower/tweak your CPU clock or other software?  Don't have free time lately but was planning to go extreme to max out CPU constantly @2.93Ghz w/ OC GPU to crack 3Dmark 06 score(somehow I can't use ATI Tool on my system, it just BSOD after I finished the installation  )

hi guys i have this issue, since i removed the battery i am just using power outlet i configured the power for high performance and set brightness to 100% , i did the same for windows default power settings, but in a frequent basis say after 1 hour or so the screen will dim back and i will see the brightness has been altered ( in the windows default power settings)!
did any one notice that the screen will dim by itself sometimes. how to fix that ?
Added on April 23, 2010, 3:17 pm need to ask what is the best free program for making an image of a drive?
