Highest is as posted earlier (by running CPUID in background, and play for longest 4.5 hours)

1. CPU - 89!
2. GPU - 79

I just realized i havent post any frame rate for Darksiders, it something between 50-60 FPS. Sometimes it drops to 40 plus, but that is still very smooth.

I finally completed the game. Game time reported that I spent 23 hours (but i play for 3-4 weeks! and the game didn't calculate how many times I died and replay some scene... )

from the end scene, there will be sequel... i m looking forward for it

Oh thx! I just installed the game on my laptop haha...

Hmm, off topic but something's wrong with mine though... As GT335M should be similar to HD5650, I am thinking I should get frame rate like yours but instead I get only 40-50 and drops to 25-30 when slashing.... It's at 1366x768 resolution ><...

that's really nice, keep monitor for temp, IMO u ll get less problem if ur notebook is always this cool.

4820TG seems to be able to keep temp of GPU really cool...

how is the temp compare to you?

Well I have VSync off as well... the CPU and GPU both around 80.. But i only played like 15-20 minutes, so can't really compare to yours...

Hmm but I installed the game in my partition drive instead, that shouldn't really affect the frame rate right?

Seems like everybody is satisfy with this lappy. Anyone bought this by installment?

Is it possible or worth to upgrade to win7 pro?

Check for yourself if you need the additional features of Win7 Pro.

For me, it doesn't worth the money. Better save the money for something else. If you want to run things in WinXP (which I don't need), you can always download VMWare Player (free) and install WinXP into it.

You still can join Domain in Home Premium.

You can't backup to network, but I backup my data to external drive instead of network....

for me this lappy very satisfy me..than a42jv..come get it..u'l not regret

Anyone here with 2gb ram

here im..still using 2gb..why kbkeat ?
ermm anyone here with 9cell lion battery ?

Hohoho, later will go digital mall have a look.

is toshiba r700 lighter and slimmer thn 4820?

^Yup...

i just got this lappy 2 days ago and suddenly my ram usage goes up to 1gb in task manager.... read about the abr thingy and those erecovery

downloaded the 32 bit drivers and gonna download 64 bit as well... i wonder if the abr thingy r compatible with other win 7 version? eg, this lappy came with w7 home premium, then i wan to use the ultimate and use abr for those keys and certs.

is that possible?

1gb usage on 64 bit windows is quite normal isn't it?

hi. wanna know how's the performance ?

My RAM usage is 1.2Gb. I think it's quite normal with Win7.

If I am not mistaken, you can't use cert you exported by ABR to install other Win7 version. So, if you exported the cert from a Win7 Home Premium, you cant use it to activate your Win 7 Ultimate.

If W7 32 bit should be around 700-800mb usage if out of the box...

firstly, using the ABR will only backup the existing key and cert of your already installed Win7 - which is Win7 Home Premium. this key and cert is only valid for Win7 Home Premium, no more, no less.

secondly, there's no need to be alarmed about the 'high' memory usage you see in the Win7 task manager. what you're seeing is Win7 (Vista too) SuperFetch in action. it loads your frequently used applications into memory, so that it will launch faster when you need to use it. for more into: http://www.osnews.com/story/21471/SuperFet..._it_Works_Myths

owh... so vista++ got superfetch... im not a vista++ fan since the usability on them is quite poor especially on the windows explorer

im thinking of reformatting this laptop as well. dunno how to say whether its fast or slow since loading certain application made my system hangs and very laggy

i also not used to the high ram usage especially on win 7 though. as far as i remember xp uses min of 100mb, vista at 500mb... i dunno about win 7 ram usage actually

what do experts say? format or just leave it?

my min ram usage = 1gb
my max ram usage = 1.5gb

Its normal to have 1GB usage in Win 7....
