And Windows 7 Home Premium which cost additional RM300...

Basic function is more than enough... CPU processing power pretty much affecting 3DMark06 scores and ACF doesn't work on DX9.

is a43ta better than others lappies with gt 540m in terms of gaming?
comparing asus a43ta and acer 5560g which 1 is better?

In asynchronous CrossFire they should be equal if not better than the GT540M for gaming.

As for the A43TA and 5560G, it's a matter of preference.

For now, GT540 is a better choice.
The cross-fire in Llano notebook seems not running well. It could be driver issue.

but running 6650m alone ady better than gt540m right? can it run on dedicated card onli?

iirc u can set which graphic mode to run in BIOS...

6650m slightly lower then 540m

but almost on par actually... some games it lead some game 540m lead!

By specs, 6650 should be faster than 5650.

Look at the benchmark results posted in earlier page,
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1949954/+248
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1949954/+257

My 5650 has the benchmark score 7500+ in 3DMark06 and 1650+ in FFXIV.
GT540 is better than 5650.
But the 6650 doesn't seem running faster than 5650.

It could be non-optimized driver. Another possibility is, you will probably need 1600MHz ram module in order to have a better performance.
Perhaps the Llano users can test the system by using 1600MHz ram modules.

Another concern and old debate, cross-fire/SLI VS single card setup.
If both deliver the almost similar performance, you should go for single card setup.
You'll have less compatibility issue 'cos some games don't support dual-card setup.
So, until there is a better driver, GT540 is a better option for now.

i wanna ask is it the gt540m and the intel sandy bridge hd igp considering a sli?Does it increase perfomance?

GT540 can't mate with Intel IGP.
You'll get mutant baby if you let them mate.

Nope, it is not working.

haha...acer got no usb 3.0 but asus yes.

Added on September 2, 2011, 2:15 amhi guys.. this is Asus A43TA-VX019V Gpu, temp and WEI..

Radeon HD 6720G2 (6500M intergreted and 6600M dedicated) gpu

Hey guys,
Im planning to buy the Asus A43T VX019.Is it good enough for photoshop,video converting and mild gaming?Owh yea,i wanna add another 2gb ram.So pls do comment.

what is the meaning of turbo boost? will it boost the processor speed while playing games? or playing games too only uses the 1.4GHz?

like mostly sifus said, when we are into photoshop work( the hardcore one) better go get i7...
why dont you add 4gb?

I am planning to add more ram.
Thing is my budget is <RM1900.

So just looking for decent laptop can handle my task fast enough.

but o'd get i5 at that range liao..
