Please assist to run the CPU benchmark.
I need to know the CPU mark score.

Thanks in advance.

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

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.

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

Nope, it is not working.

It is not 6720G.
It is 6520G. It is cross-fired with Radeon 6470.
It will become 6540G2.

If you study the actual performance, you'll find that the cross-fire is virtually not working.
Besides, refer to the earlier page, the discrete Radeon 6650 could not even perform as good as her sibling Radeon 5650 (by specs, Radeon 6650 should be better).
Therefore, it is possible that the cross-fire would not even deliver the performance near Radeon 6470.
It could be driver issue after all.

What GPU does the a43ta have? Radeon 6470?
How much does the B940 with GT520 cost?

I was referring to the website.
The discrete GPU on the website is Radeon 6470.

i7 HD3000 is no better than i3/i5 HD3000.
I think the guy should compare it with an i3 or i5 combo with discrete GPU.

If it's less than a week, you're entitled to 1-on-1 exchange.

You registered it?
Yes, you can't exchange once the warranty is activated.
Normally the registration is done by the shop. And shop only activates it after 7 days.

Are you sure you got the right bios?

Any system with SSD is good (as long as it can deliver 250++ MB/s of bandwidth).

Llano A8-3500 only support DDR3-1333.
I don't think you need 1866@CL9. It can't run 1866 anyway.
Just get 1333@CL7 will do.

As you mentioned A8-3500, are you referring to A8-3500M??
If yes, it can only support up to 1333MHz.

FYI, there are 5 types of A8.
A8-3500M
A8-3520M
A8-3510MX
A8-3530MX
A8-3550MX
Only those MX support 1600MHz (you still need the bios to support it).

The ram speed/timing will have greater impact in Llano system because the GPU is sharing memory.

You can get low latency DDR-1333@CL7, either Kingston HyperX or Corsair Vengeance.
