So, how much you got the CPU run at?

Just tried again boot time A42Jv, seems like went up to 32-34 seconds instead 25 seconds...

I'm using this to time the boot time
http://www.planetsoft.org/utils/BootTimer.exe
It do time the startup as well though...

^That's where everything started when I try overclocking A42Jv

Can, why not...

Well, it is low-end GPU...
low with some medium setting is at most....

^Its not BIOS, but AHCI driver...
You can't detect the temp via HWMonitor, but HWInfo, etc can...

Its not BIOS, but beta AHCI driver

Any luck on pushing the i5 450M?

Any computer shop is fine..
and you can sell the old one...

HDD and RAM is user replaceable, but Asus won't cover those replaced part since its not in their warranty, you will need to refer to each manufacturer if anything happen.

Try open the boottimer.exe properties, unlock it if got that option...

Don't think because Avast, I tried it on with Avast as well...

Too much fragmentation?

Anything too much is not good

Why not take Asus U45Jc ?

Mainly is the ultra low voltage CPU vs regular CPU...
and UL80Vt is using hybrid GPU, which will result flicker when switching GPU and don't really have any new driver support from nVidia
while the U45Jc is using nVidia Optimus...

Yup, UL80Vt with SU7300 1.3GHz vs U45Jc with i5 450M 2.4GHz
U45Jc with i5 450M should be around RM2749...
