Added on March 27, 2011, 2:52 pmhey guys i came across some problems with direct X.
I ran dxdiag and it says I have directX 11 installed but when i run Black Ops it says d3dx9_43.dll is missing. Is it because there is no directX 9???? hmm.gif  hmm.gif

It's not really a DX problem. You're just missing that specific file after installation. Just get it from http://www.dll-files.com/ .

Even at 5400 RPM it's 5.9. Raided will get a 6.X score while SSDs will breach the 7 mark.

HDD would always remain at 5.9 for the WEI. Only way to boost it is to get an SSD since RAIDing is out of the question.

RAM doesn't affect boot time. Your HDD is the deciding factor.

Elpida is more of an OEM brand for RAM used by a lot of companies. I was rather surprised that the A42 series used Kingston instead of Hynix or Elpida.

abt the screen scaling.. where to find the option??  to remove the black border for games tat dont support 16:9 were supposed to set scaling to fit to screen right?
*
Use the Intel graphic properties for scaling since Optimus piggy-backs on the Intel HD.

Your external hard drive giving you problems? Oh mai... this sounds almost like the China HDD scam case. http://blog.jitbit.com/2011/04/chinese-magic-drive.html

Why not someone performs a clean format and see if that helps with the 'Hibernation' problem?
