Guys, anyone know which cooler is suitable for A42Jv? As, I might leave my laptop on 24/7 for downloading stuffs, I am planning to get a proper one that is actually effective for lowering temperature unlike the freebies version..
Any good recommendations? Cooler Master D1 good enough ar?

Well yea... Just to be on the safe side cause my last Asus broke down just barely 3 years...

@lee_what, so what do u mean by that?

I thought it would depend on which cooler as well right?
Wow, 20 degrees is a lot ler.. U use zalman?

Lol.. What's the point of doing that since you know the temperature anyways

2.6K with 4gb ram upgrade is already cheapest of the cheapest already... What is he complaining about?? >< 2gb ram upgrade normally around rm140-150.....

I guess high temp in the long run would shorten ur lifespan of the laptop and high temp would result in worse performance as well.. So definitely need a cooler

Of course it makes a big diff if U wanna multitask...

Windows 7 itself already uses around 1.1gb of ram... 2gb won't be fully utilise since part of it would compensate for the Intel GPU.. 2gb -1.1gb - intel gpu usage = not really enough if u wanna run heavy memory apps or SC2

can play highest settings without any prob...

Latest drivers 258.96..

@verdang, he's talking the 'u know what' version of w7 ultimate lol.. Only original ones can update..

Definitely can play SC2 Ultra High, just rmb to upgrade ram to 4gb

E.g if ur laptop ram is 2gb ddr3 1066ghz.. U should get a same ram for upgrade.. That simple lol

Yea.. But why waste extra money on that.. And as lee stated before, it's better to get 2 identical rams

I had a free one... But it was stupid/ugly and doesn't fit the keyboard...
I had it sticked for a month cause i wanted to prevent dust...
But then when i finally removed it, I find it better much to type without it lol..

Hmm.. The carrying bag is just so so.. Dun think it offers much protection.. I think everyone gets the same Asus bag?

Huh? They didn't give u any bag? U should go claim from them!
unless u bargained for a lower price without the bag?

I heard someone got it for 2.6k with 2gb ram upgrade at Sri Comp...

Those online price list are not updated prices lar since you can still bargain for cheaper price without the stupid freebies...

better double confirm with the pros in the forum... a lot of sellers even in LYP are just shitty ppl who give false informations... They might want you to buy 1 thing in order to clear out the stock so he would hard sell that thing to you..

dude, u been having this problem for such a long time... Tried uninstall and reinstalling the wifi drivers?
Tried any other wifis other than ur home one?

If yes to all, I think u should bring it to Asus to service...

get the 250gb one and make the 500gb as external harddisk =)

Changing HDD is considered an upgrade as well...
To me, I am impressed with the comparison of a normal HDD and Seagate momentus XT, IMO it's worthed the money compared to an overpriced SSD.... SSD in 2 years will drop price a lot.. just wait...
