hey guys, i just installed my new wireless router, (d link wireless g only, take the most basic one...)

my wireless strength is 4/5 bars, but the internet connection will break for like 10-20 seconds, then reconnect back. As in, not the wireless connection, I will get the warning icon saying no internet access (msn will auto sign out) then after 10-20 second, the internet access is back... any ideas? occurs every 5 minutes? can't play black ops =\

seems like only my G53jw got problem, my S42 got no connection problems... =(

can i replace my atheros AR9825 with the intel 5300 (half size i think) ?

should i change it myself or send to service centre (quite far... but free wifi card)

just paid through CIMB bank today, jaycn did you incur any additional transfer fee on the US side besides the 30 ringgit for CIMB?

I have ordered Logitech F710 gamepad and the estimated arrival time is within this week. However, I have to admit that XBox 360 Gamepad for PC is the most comfortable gamepad I ever hold. 

hm, for controller i prefer using the wireless xbox 360 for windows (same wireless 360 controller, just the receive need to buy)

It costs me 40 EUROS including shipping which is around RM160. The reason why I choose this is because I want to try it out. 

lol big diff what. One is wireless and one is wired. Freedom very important... that's why i like wireless stuff.

Anyways, i use normal AA batteries with my 360 controller, and the receiver is plugged into USB port, so no need charge.
I got during a clearing stock at some shop in london, 20 pounds it cost me, works perfectly.

Don't be confused that this gamepad is for XBox 360 only. It also available for PC variants. So, it includes wireless receiver.

I'm looking forward on my Logitech F710. 

I have to work hard for it.  Part time job + Study. 

I work as a technician in FSP company which is a PSU experts at Germany. 

Yea. I'm currently at Germany. Hopefully, I will be back to Malaysia on next year. 

jaycn67, did you pay xoticpc for any small sum using credit card? now I need to pay them for the bank fee over in the US side which is $15 same as yours, but I cant find any item that's $15. CC payment should be instant right? If I pay extra then it's wasted? even if they instruct to place an order for any small item and pay it with credit card and comment it's for the laptop.

no wor because I dont know how much exactly. I only knew after asking you about your fees. Maybe placing an item with CC just submitting order, where the transaction is not done instantly. Now just waiting for their reply to confirm what I think is correct or not

thanks though (=

no no. I paid the total what the invoice showed me through wire transfer. I read before that they mention additional fees for bank transfer fee can be paid by credit card or you can pay in advance like what you did.

Actually just chatted with their customer service through live chat. It's just like what I thought. Just need to submit an order by providing CC details.

From payment pending to payment pending hehe. Not sure which phase it is after logging into xoticpc portal. I just provided my CC details with some random item. It's working hour over there now, I hope at least go to phase 2 by tomorrow morning my time.

How about yours? On the way to comgateway or Malaysia now?

Sigh waited for singapore pc show and nothing there. Wasted the time waiting for that, could have the laptop here by now

hm... you guys later post how long it took for your laptops to arrive to you la, then we see whether got any big difference....
