Not yet, for now its just seems like a sllightly overclocked GT435M...
Just interested to know its battery life....

i got too...not regularly happen, and ussualy happen during switch my laptop on
im using A42JE only...less than a month bought it

yes,you can extend it

What model is it?

U45JC

hopefully you are right 

i might be a new member for asus family soon =D

I have no problem with the ASUS a42ja. But just update the driver. Wireless one i usually got dc-ed after awhile when i got the computer. after updating no problems. And also try uninstalling the REALTEK audio driver and install it. My mic cannot use due to the driver problem.

of course it gets hotter... when u game, the hardware consumes more power, thus draw more power from the adapter, and the adapter needs to work harder in order to meet the demand... more power converted = more heat, that' the law of physics...

i partitioned my HDD to 2 partitions as well... C: is mainly for OS and programs, and D: is for my own stuff (MP3, videos, assignments, lecture notes, pictures, etc etc)... in such an arrangement, whenever i format my computer, i need only to fiddle with the C:, all my personal stuff are intact and will remain in the D:

it's really up to u how u want to utilize the partitions... the main idea is "in case Windows is corrupted the next moment, how u want to save ur data"...

Mine was preset already.. I dunno how to partition a hard drive 

About the heat.. So i guess the combination of gaming + the extra power needed for the cooling pad fans is putting strain on the adapter..

depends on ur activity...

if it's juz web surfing, shouldn't generate too much heat...

play with it until vomit..

just kidding 

hwmonitor..

depends on how clean u want it to run...

first thing, either format or remove bloatwares...

less stuff in the HDD = less seek time = feel faster

LAN? plug in the LAN cable lor...
