is RM300 more wor, not RM200 @@

Asus brochure says Rm3599 but according to C-Zone pricelist its RM3499.

Rm3499 - RM3199... do your math @@

Hp dv6 not RM3299 meh??

i thought RM3199? then its my fault

For Graphics it's GDDR3 (Graphics Double Data Rate, version 3) or GDDR5 (Graphics Double Data Rate, version 5).

DDR3 ( Double Data Rate 3) term is used for RAM.

So are there huge performace dif between them??
I thought some GPU also uses DDR3 like the GT550M on the N53SN

GT550M http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForc...0M.42264.0.html

HD6870M has all 3 http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD...0M.43733.0.html

Announced last week

so u say i just give my laptop to him and he give back my money?
no check2 my lappy if broken, no signing a stupid form etch..?
u also wanat buy n53sn?

DDR3 is used in GPU as well... my GPU is using it (though GPU-Z detect it as GDDR3)...

Added on February 28, 2011, 7:15 ambetween GDDR3 and DDR3, not that much... DDR3 usually runs at up to 1333MHz, while GDDR3 used to be in the range of 1200-1500MHz (when DDR2 was mainstream), and GDDR4 running at 1700-2000MHz... but as GDDR4 has been retired, GDDR3's clock has been pushed to around 2000MHz as well...

GDDR5, technically speaking it should be called QDR instead - Quad Data Rate, as it provides twice the bandwidth compared to the DDR variants (DDR1-DDR3, GDDR2-GDDR4)... instead of transmitting 2 pieces of data, GDDR5 can transmit 4 pieces, thus doubling the effective bandwidth, giving u speed like 3600-4000MHz... so try to look for GDDR5 if possible... it improves the performance significantly... a pretty close comparison would be Acer Aspire Ethos 5943G (Radeon HD5850 GDDR3) and AW m15x (Radeon HD5850 GDDR5)

Fair enough.

The main reason I'm trying to decide between the two is not price vs performance. I'm more concerned about heat and am willing to go through a drop in graphics performance if it means my notebook won't have its optical drive crap out after one and a half years. If the drop in graphics performance is too big, though, then there's no point in getting the I5 since it will end up using the dedicated card most of the time. That's why I'm very keen in finding out just how hot the I5 runs and how well the built-in GPU renders graphics.

That's the reason why I'm really look into GDDR5 gc. heh..

oh i see
then the GT550M 2gb DDR3 in N53SN better than the Hp dv6????
Now abit conflicted with HP dv6 and the N53SN. Does the GDDR5 and DD3 play an important role???

GDDR5 >> GDDR3 > DDR3

pick GDDR5 whenever possible...

so GT550M DDR3 or HD6570 GDDR5 better??cause i check at notebookcheck.net the GT550 is class 1 and 6570 is class 2.

pretty hard call... i can't tell juz by the hardware... if both are using DDR3/GDDR3, i suppose GT 550M will ve an edge, but GDDR5 juz mix up everything... it's the first time i see GDDR5 being used in a mainstream GPU...

No product guide for March-April from Asus?

Nope. U can go their website to check but currently only January-February product guide available for notebook.

Well,it's already end of February so I guess they should give out new product guide for March-April.

Jst wait and see. Tomorrow is March ady. hehe
