I used the GT425M WHQL.
260.99 doesn't work then? :/ Have you tried using a 259.xx driver?

I wonder what MXM class slot the GT335M uses.
 Maybe can mod it to a GTX260M  |

The GT335M uses the MXM 3 as standard (same as GTX260M), but I haven't taken the time to open up my A42Jv just yet. Hopefully it's not soldered considering it's a mid range GPU.

QUOTE(Najmods @ Dec 30 2010, 12:27 AM) Oh you mean the card? Even low end card like HD3450 have the MXM equivalent. Sweet, now time to see what shape it is and perhaps I'll go pick up a GTX260M from eBay.  |

But that's why we got Power4Gear. Reduces the clockspeed and theoretically power consumption.

Power4Gear High Performance by default sets your CPU clock at 100% at all times, meaning if let's say you have an Intel i5-450M which runs at 2.4GHz (100% CPU state), it will be at a minimum 2.4GHz, never down throttling. This does not include TB yet iinm.
But if you use Battery Saving mode, it throttles it down to about 66% or maximum speed and won't go any higher until you change the mode. So I just use Entertainment mode. Max 100%, min 5% CPU state. |

QUOTE(Najmods @ Jan 3 2011, 03:33 PM) What kind of cooler pad did you guys use with your A42J? I still haven't used any cooler yet. No cooler at all, flat on the table. Doesn't heat up that much, even when using on the bed. Btw, I noticed that the A42Jv and A42Ja have a larger heatsink and fan. |

How bad is the price for, let's say a Sabertooth x58 there? I find forking out RM800 for a board of that caliber very palatable.

And if paired with something like a GT425M, it'll take a huge chunk of performance out of it. OS: Win7 Home Premium Screen: 15.6-inch 1366x768 pixels Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-520M (2.45GHz) Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GT425M 1GB VRAM (3D vision ready) Memory: 4GB Ram Storage: 500Gb Connections: N Bluetooth Mic, headphone out, VGA, 3.0 USB, LAN, eSata, Card reader Optical drive: Blu-ray Combo, Blu-ray read only Dimensions/Weight: 391x266x31/2.71kg The specs for N43 about the same, just a 13inch and 15 inch difference. The B&O speakers are wonderful! Disadv: they should have 120hz 3D led screens. instead of normal 60hz besides that, are really good laptop for multimedia. very quite too The N43Jf has a i5-480M though.
