smooth is subjective term
for some people 30+- fps is smooth
for some ppl 40-60fps is smooth

but ppl with the same laptop get different fps.... that's the weird part...

@chang3rd,
upgrading ram yourself won't void ur warranty.. if you're scared, ask someone in a shop to do it for you..
Go to device manager and click properties of HD5470 to see ur version,
just search in ati website for latest drivers

just checked and updated my drivers..
have yet to try playing TF2 yet, but even if I don't update driver, will it really affect my machine running TF2 so bad ?

or you think 2GB ram is not enough ?
but i believe it can run better games than TF2

maybe somewhere something is wrong..
like u said, (almost) same laptpop but different outcomes

i already installed batman: arkham asylum n can run it smoothly using the highest setting...the only prob i had nw is wif sc2..which i can only run it using medium settings..

4gb nt enough?

Since we are on the topic of SC2, is anyone experiencing horrendous load times in campaign?

Oh yes.. Ram should be the problem for SC2, i remember someone saying it consumes 1.4gb+ of ram when playing

Its 1.7GB

wow! any game consume more than that?

haha yea.. oh well.. 4gb is definitely a must if wanna game... Windows 7 it self consumes like 1.1gb+ already

I accidentally deleted a partition without knowing that it is the recovery partition as disk management says that its an unallocated space which is 20gb...
Luckily i have burned the recovery, but is there anyway to create a recovery partition from these DVD?...

Can anyone help me to see whether u guys have any unallocated space from the disk management?...
There is also a folder in C: named eSupport and preload, aren't those folder suppose to be the recovery?...and why does windows folder in C: is 8GB+?...

No other way to recreate the partition unless the Asus technician do it for you...
Windows is 8GB+ since its Win 7.....

Do u also got an unallocated space?...U can check from disk management..
What's the eSupport and preload used for?...it's located at C:

The eSupport and preload was used on the first time you configure the Windows
It installed the driver, preinstalled apps, etc..
You can find your driver inside it, you can copy it to other place if you are lazy to download the driver..

Can't check the disk management, the A42Jv not in my hand anymore....
