I also just bought A42JV. I wonder if I should upgrade RAM with Kingston 1333 or Corsair 1333?

true

QUOTE(AlexLai @ Aug 15 2010, 08:03 PM)
Stick in 1333MHz RAM and it will auto downclock to 1066MHz.
*
yup

QUOTE(eugenechiuu @ Aug 15 2010, 08:07 PM)
Yea.. But why waste extra money on that.. And as lee stated before, it's better to get 2 identical rams

Hmm.. The carrying bag is just so so.. Dun think it offers much protection.. I think everyone gets the same Asus bag?
*
Unfortunately, I got cheated of the bag. I'm bagless now....
if the bag is not that nice, then I won't feel that sad...

really? So our A42JV is Elpida RAM?

QUOTE(eugenechiuu @ Aug 16 2010, 01:27 PM)
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..
*
actually according to my knowledge, I think all RAM is compatible...lol.. because they follow standard.. anyway, no choice,
its either Kingston or Corsair. I'll return the Corsair if not compatible because the seller said compatible. If I listen to forumer,
and if it not compatible, I can't return...lolol

Every slot in SPD shows nothing?
Worth it or not, depends how much you value speed....
7200rpm doesn't do much....
*
I choose all the slot and its blank... I'm shocked...is my ram got problem sweat.gif

QUOTE(fixgd @ Aug 17 2010, 11:30 AM)
then no upgrade that could be done with this except adding ram?
*
yaya...upgrade RAM is the cheapest thing u can do....

i heard even ReadyBoost dun do much if u have 4gb ram...

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...
*
did u compare Seagate Momentus XT vs Raid0 7200rpm hdd?
coz to me, raid0 7200rpm fast but not that fast....

Well, doing other than the ram and hdd, will most likely void the warranty...
I could think of..
1. change the wireless card to intel 6300
2. add in 3rd antenna
3. change the cpu to i5 540M perhaps, since the i5 450M able to overclocks its FSB to 160MHz and quite stable, changing it i5 540M, *might* be able to get 3.4Ghz in Turbo..
4. upgrade the hdd to ssd
5. swap the optical drive with hdd caddy and put in hdd
6. drill bigger hole for the cpu ventilation
or else, pretty much buy accessories for its, like external sound card, speaker/headphones, mouse, external screen....

@gogo2, tried HWInfo to check the ram?
*
ok, I go back try...maybe software issue...

That's right. SPD gives no info at all.

Probably can try HWInfo...instead of ZCPUID..
