******To run SC2 ultra high, need to upgrade to 4gb RAM . Applicable to NVidia 335m gfx and above******* Important notice: If your pirated games is not running, it means your game got problem (not updated). Not laptop problem.
First thing to do when get your laptop:

1. Put on screen protector (two types. I recommend anti-glare type but this is personal decision). Raytec is a good brand. 2. Charge it full before use. No need overnight. Charge full is enough. 3. Turn on and update all your driver from Asus website or nVidia/ATI driver website. 4. Register your laptop on Asus website. 5. Delete bloatware (unused program). For me, I did not delete. I use all the program and I find it nice. 6. Within 7 days, make sure your laptop run perfectly fine. Within 7 days, I believe you can still fight for your rights to 1-to-1 swap if anything spoilt. 7. Get some free games from Steam website. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/show...ad.php?t=851573 8. Activate your free Office 2010 by opening any office document. 9. After few charges, you can take out your battery if you're only using adapter. This is to prolong battery life. 10. You might want to get notebook cooler to prolong your notebook life. 11. After 7 days, and your laptop works well, you can start to pimp it. Add notebook skin like the one from Manhattan or ArmourOne.

1.The default and recommended settings in the nvidia control panel: Multi-Display/Mixed GPU-Acceleration : is on multiple display performance mode.. have to change it to single display mode. If its multi-display, the temperature is high. 2.for the u35jc, u nid to update the bios to 208 then u can use the latest driver from nvidia which is 258.96... dunno if u45jc oledi got the bios 208 or not.. 3.recommend don flash u45jc bios 207 atm if u don wanna end up bricking it 4.mouse lag using 335m gfx. IN NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL , in option VERTICAL SYNC choose FORCE OFF ( NOT CHOOSE use the 3d application setting ) the problem is solved. For DotA, you also need to add -swtnl to shortcut like "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Warcraft III.exe" -opengl 5.if you have frame rate drop, change Power4Gear to High Performance.
Speeding up boot time by lee_what2004:

Install No 3 first since No 1 only driver, no apps... After install, install No 1 from device manager...
Faster boot time, at least what I tested, but its beta driver (No 1), so might be an issue... issue so far, no temp detected by BatteryCare/HWMonitor... While the No 2 is just latest version for Intel HD, shouldn't be a problem...

Dude post up solutions for the Nvidia Optimus problems as well... A lot of our forumers are asking the same question again and again regarding it...
Just write a simple one like clean install new drivers etc..

Yes, please post up the solution for NVidia Optimus especially playing Starcraft2. I'm too facing this problem. Deep hurt by Optimus technology and NVidia problematic driver.
Yesterday after watching the Optimus tutorial, decided to upgrade the NVidia driver to WHQP 258.96 Previously using factory built version 189.70 could play Starcraft2 using Intel Integrated rather than NVidia Graphic Processor.
Now, I can play Starcraft2 with Optimus switch to dedicated NVidia graphic processor.
Starcraft2 game setting:
- Set to Medium, F - FPS between 30 to 40. - Setting in NVidia Control Panel, I opt for graphic setting rather than performance. - GPU Temperature around 75 degree C when playing. Did not manage to capture screen.
Also, when I replay the Campaign, "The Evacuation", previously with Intel integrated, SC2 crashed with Access Violation Error. Now with Nvidia graphic processor, it does not crash.
Will continue to test different SC2 game setting with my RAM 4GB. Graphic is much better than before and now happy user..
Good job bro gogo2!!
Good to hear that!!! Thanks for sharing the setting!!!
Can anyone teach me what kind of drivers should i update and how should i know whether the driver is up to date which suits my machine? sorry for being noob
Normally you just need to update Video driver. While you also need to update Windows using Windows update. Easy right?
Oh ok... thanks for all the help guys... but i have done everything... anyone play dota here encounter lag issues like me?
Is your Dota original? Have you download the latest version of Dota?
QUOTE(eugenechiuu @ Aug 25 2010, 09:59 PM)
From what I heard, most forumers playing Dota experience lagging using the GT335M.. So try using the Intel to play Dota.. Problem should be solved
Its probably those are pirated version of Dota. Didn't update to latest version to get the best out of 335M. That's why I said, please buy original game.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can change it if under warranty. I'm not sure whether Asus have zero bright pixel policy
guys, izzit possible latest graphic driver consume more battery power? dunno if its my imagination or not, i notice my notebook lil bit hot than b4 after updating
Without proof, its all in your imagination bro. You can go back to previous driver and see if its true.. but testing condition must same.
QUOTE(Ultima @ Aug 25 2010, 10:39 PM)
so for the u series thts more on battery power, izzit advisable to juz stick to default driver?
Of course not. Always update to latest driver unless the latest driver got problem. Go to nVidia thread in Hardware. They sometimes talk about latest driver issue.
QUOTE(Ultima @ Aug 25 2010, 10:43 PM)
well, if lets say the latest driver support physx, so can say the driver consume more power rite?
