The current 3820TG/4820TG don't have USB 3.0
The upcoming 3830/4830/5830 have the USB 3.0, but when it available is unknown... Suggest 3820TG  |

QUOTE(doomx @ Feb 26 2011, 10:22 AM) even when i just restart my pc also cannot switch graphics. still tell me something is running. wtf Can you screen capture list of process running? May be I can help identify process that stopping it from switching graphic. Generally, you may want to try to look for DirectX or full screen related stuff. |

QUOTE(doomx @ Feb 26 2011, 04:39 PM) ok. i already tried to reinstall my driver nicely using driver sweeper and then after that reinstalling back the ati driver and now i cannot change my gc already. dont know what powerexpresshybrid missing. FML WOW. how come became so serious? I only left for 1 weekend!  somebody tell me what is wrong and help me enable back the configurable graphic please. now i can only use my Intel HD graphics. shouldnt have used driver sweeper i also went to Acer website i downloaded the driver for the 6550M also the same. after restart no differences. still detect Intel HD only Added on February 26, 2011, 7:00 pmF*ck that i did system restore then nothing came out. After that when i turn on my pc fails to enter windows. I dont have recovery disc somemore. Heading out to buy windows 7 cd Added on February 26, 2011, 7:52 pmOk guys suddenly my pc decided to enter windows but i still cannot get my gc to change, any help here? temporary i run on intel HD while waiting sifus help me. at least can use! phew Anyway, let's do this from the start: 0. In BIOS, make sure set to Switchable graphic 1. Uninstall all ATI driver from Control Panel. 2. Boot to safe mode, use Driver Sweeper, clean ATI. Restart 3. Boot to Windows normally, go to Device Manager, Display Adapter, delete ATI card if you see it 4. Now, install Acer driver from Acer website 5. Restart, go to BIOS, switch Graphic mode to Discrete 6. Boot to Windows normally, install Catalyst 11.2 7. Restart, go to BIOS, switch back to Switchable Good luck!

Try Boot TimerMy boot up time is around the same as my 6 year old laptop with 2gb ram. But it is 10x slower. Its so laggy and I havent even used it yet. Only burned the eRecovery discs. So disappointing.sigh I recommend you try what sarf2k4 has done nicely with his machine here. My boot time according to Boot timer is 25 seconds... it's not slow, you just need to tweak it a little...

(Although I cant read Germen)64-bit should be good for now... p/s. More pic on 5830/4830/3830... But, why the graphic is nVidia 540M? hmmm no more manual switching huh? some people may like it...

I guess the nVidia chip will be in that circle and the heatsink would be different with the one in image (assuming its 3830T) ?
