QUOTE(chopin @ Sep 8 2012, 08:47 PM) my previous machine was having one stick 1333Mhz, one stick 1600 mhz, also working perfectly, only thing is they will operate at whatever lower grade between them - at 1333mhz. if one is CL9, one is CL11, they will run at CL11. so u dont really need to change - unless if you can sell one of the sticks at very little loss, then buy another stick that is same specs with the other one. dont waste too much $ on this, might as well save it for SSD - the difference will be SIGNIFICANT, very.... Ooo. Thanks! If no problem i wont change! Already upgraded to 256 ocz vertex SSD.

The laptop is with my brother, i am currently out of town. Will check the ram timing and chipset, when i get my hands on it! Thanks for the feedback! Just worried if there will be a problem, if there is, i can try to nego with the seller now to top up for another corsair 4gb vengeance.

Hi, my Y580 shows 2 display adapters in the device manager, ie Intel Graphics 4000 & Nvidia GTX6600M.
By right, it show only shows one, which is Nvidia
The problem is, I think the laptop is using the Intel, which can be evidenced in dxdiag.
How to solve this? Please help.

Our laptop got running NVIDIA Optimus, which is also same as most of the laptop, can allowed to switch between two GPU - iGPU(Intel HD4000) and dGPU(GT650M/GTX660M), so in device menager got show to display adapter... And at the dxdiag one u don't even bother abt it coz it running at HD graphic only, if u want test ur GPU working correctly, u should try some game This post has been edited by sss2sssss: Sep 9 2012, 01:09 AM |
