Any particular laptop u want to compare to?

sorry to hijack that person question but im also wan to get some1 opinion on this 2 ASUS A43TA-VX047V vs dv6-6c19tx?

im only interested with ati graphic and the quadcore they both offer that i wish to assign 3 cores for my virtual machines. are these good? i need it for running multiple instances of vm, heavy multitask and at least medium gaming to low-medium gaming requirement for most games available.

I don't think u can do it without battery plugged in. =\
Maybe there is some process running that make the cpu hot even when idling. Check Task Manager again?

Anyway, try this method about graphic not responding.. change the value to 5 or 6.

Link: Help me configure registry correctly to solve TDR issue
I suggest get 6C19TX because Llano processor are not really meant for heavy computing even tho it's a quaddie.
Like i said in PM, it is the same GPU. 7690M XT is a rebadge of HD6770M but like forumer story20 has shown, 7690M XT got more headroom to overclock without changing the voltage.

Read here about the meaning of overclocking..

cool. thx guys, i guess tomorrow i will head over to lowyat to get the dv6-6c19tx. smile.gif im soon to be in the family. smile.gif unless i can get hp envy with ips screen with nice price XD

sorta.. v8.82 based on Catalyst 11.9 released last November. HP probably will release new driver on March.

If you want latest driver for both AMD and Intel GPU, wait for Leshcat's 12.1 v2. He will release it soon enuff.

does it provides driver for linux as well? im running mintOS 12 alongside with win7. now hunting for drivers XD

here is something to share with for ppl using linux and yes!4g GO devices.

dl:
32bit - http://links.fikri.my/yes4g32bit
64bit - http://links.fikri.my/yes4g64bit

To install this, you need to run as super user. Navigate your terminal to this readme folder.

$ cd YOUR/PATH/TO/Yes\ Installer\ x86/ OR cd YOUR/PATH/TO/Yes\ Installer\ x64/
$ sudo ./install
[sudo] password for $USERNAME:

Then the installation will begin. Please connect to the internet before you proceed. After the installation is finished, you can connect to the internet using Yes Go using this command in terminal.

$ sudo connect4g start
[sudo] password for $USERNAME

Then you can connect with your Yes ID and Password. You can always close your terminal after the connection has established as it runs as background process. To disconnect from Yes, simply type:

$ sudo connect4g stop

Then you will be disconnected from Yes. This is the function that you can use with this application:

sudo connect4g -h : Help page
sudo connect4g –help : Help page
sudo connect4g start : Start Yes Connect
sudo connect4g stop : Stop Yes Connect

source: http://fikri.my/blog/yes-installer

another thing that if any1 came across this error
CODE

* Checking for connected internet connection. Please wait..
 * Internet not connected. Login now..
 * YES 4G username: a0186501529
 * YES 4G password: hushpuppy
 * Initializing connection..
 * Unknown error. Please unplug and plug in back your Yes Go

 * Press [ENTER] to exit.

try running the following codes:
CODE

sudo connect4g stop
gctwimax -D
studo connect4g start


tested and it works in Mint Linux 12 (debian/ubuntu 11.10 based)

There is a slim 65 watts adapter.
i don't know about gnome 3 but on the old gnome 2 you can simply restart it by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
Another method is by switching to TTY by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F4/F5/F6(not sure if i remember this correctly) and run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart. To go back just press Ctrl+Alt+F7.

What is you proc speed when u run sudo cpufreq-info in Terminal?
HP standard warranty for their products not 1 year by default? hmm.gif

oic. thx for the tips.

here is the info from cpufreq-info

You're using on-demand CPU governor.. it is equivalent to balanced mode in Windows.

I have no idea about the missing taskbar and etc. sweat.gif

i found out after install the cpufrequtils has being causing me to stuck at loading phase with fatal error when cpufreq trying to set the governor. took me some time to fix it. i found out now im in fallout mode whenever im using intel sandy bridge mobile. :S

Guys, been wondering if I can just delete this RECOVERY(D:) partition from my hard drive?

on the safe side, just create the recovery disc and safely remove the recovery partition via the recovery manager.

^ Set Coolsense to Optimize. Side effect = higher temperature.


Added on February 20, 2012, 1:38 amTested Arkham City In-game benchmark.

With TurboBoost
Min = 32
Max = 59
Average = 56

Without TurboBoost
Min = 30
Max = 59
Average = 54

Although its only 2 frames different, i feel less stuttering with TurboBoost on especially when the camera panning.

Max FPS = 59 because i capped it with Afterburner.

that coolsense only got on/off woh, where to get other options?

Added on February 23, 2012, 11:56 pmhey acid, there is another editor u can include in the 2nd post.

programmers notepad - http://www.pnotepad.org/ should be something similar to notepad++. i never tried notepad++ but programmers notepad is also something like the gedit in linux.
