so many player u use..... just install k-lite and you dun need gom/vlc anymore...

I've give the ori 1600 to my cousin

just install the k-lite codec... you can get it from filehippo.com

It will work just fine... but the samsung stick will be downclock as 1333

yup... thats y most of the brand will sell the RAM in two stick to make it fully compatible and give the best performance on dual channel...

Yes correct. Both sticks will 'adapt' to the slowest timing and frequency of the slower stick. This is to ensure overall compatibility is achieved. That is why most would advise installing the same stick. Essentially they don't need to be of the same brand. Just same speed in terms of frequency and timings.

windows experience index:
total 5.1
graphic 5.1
graphic gaming 6.7
it tat normal?  =="

They are standard clocks. The higher the DRAM frequency, bandwidth the higher the CL. Some manage to speed bin better grade memory chips to run lower CL, so they go into a special category of products. Thats why they are being differentiated from standard modules and thus sold at a more expensive price.

To add further, its a very small gain. This article would provide more into perspective: Memory Speed vs Latency

LOL

Well what it means is that CL always go higher as the speed increases from DDR to DDR2 to DDR3. It means that any gains in speed is effectively 'neutralized' as CL increases. For example, DD2-667 CL4 and DDR3-1333 CL8 produces the same amount of performance. Interesting right? Then why the fuss about going DDR3? The answer is bus speed increases. CPU buses are increasing year after year. DDR2 can only go so fast, it needs to go higher. (Read DDR2 vs DDR3)

Therefore it is always a goal to keep CL as low as possible so that gains in memory speed is meaningful. Such is the case of Corsair Vengeance series and the likes, offering DDR3 1600MHz at CL9. JEDEC references DDR3 at CL11 if not mistaken so normal consumer RAM sticks will be there while performance brands will try to make chips operate at lower CL. Thats why the price is higher (lesser supply).

If you would look at the benchmarks, the difference ain't much. Especially now we're at Ivy Bridge (3rd generation Intel Core) where the memory controller is on the CPU package. Also we have GPU subsystem with its own independent GDDR5. Therefore it would be safe to assume that general performance aren't affected much.

Don't get me wrong. A performance RAM does provide increases in performance. The question is how much and whether that increase is where it matters most. 1-2fps increase? Few % increases in benchmark scores? What I do know performance RAM is good is where overclocking is concern. 

Does anyone know if the Y480/580 can be overclocked and settings tweaked?

oh?? i thought the stock mcafee came with 30 days trial only? so i uninstalled it...

step by step ssd INSTALLATION?? easy 20 steps...
1st. Flip to the back of your laptop
2nd. Remove the battery
3rd. Unlock the 2 screws that access your main board
4th. Remove the cover
5th. Remove the 2 screws at your hard disk bay (1 very long, 1 very short)
6th. Unplug your HDD from the hard disk bay
7th. Unscrew the 4 chrome screws on your HDD tray
8th. Take out your HDD (remember the front and back position)
9th. Place your SSD at the tray
10th. Screw back the 4 chrome screws on your HDD tray
11th. Plug in your SSD to the HDD bay
12th. Screw back the 2 screws at the hard disk bay
13th. Put back the cover and properly inplace it
14th. Screw back the bottom 2 screws
15th. Install back your battery
16th. Flip back to the front
17th. Open the Lid
18th. Press power switch to switch it on
19th. Press F2 to enter BIOS to make sure it detects your SSD
20th. Save and Exit

Walah!!! SSD Installation COMPLETE

use cpu-z to check your RAM timings at diff speed .
for each single ram has their own timings at certain speed
e.g.
1600Mhz 9-9-9-24
1333Mhz x-x-x-x
1000Mhz x-x-x-x

Just make sure the timings is same at that speed for both piece of ram if u want your system to be stable

Click to slot 2....==

Windows will work, Recovery partition won't neither do OKR button

U may want to test each ram individually cos u are mixing ram with diff speed.  Try take out one ram 1st and run again

Mine is Hyundai at 1.5V. So it appears that we should be hunting for 1.35V ones from Samsung? Better power consumption

I agree with the forum. I upgraded from 2x2GB modules to 2x4GB modules for my Macbook Pro last time. Immediately see reduction in battery life. At least 30-45minutes shaved!

Hmmmm, I think maybe ur graphic driver coz that things happen?

I think ur NVIDIA driver is quite old...
Mine one is 9.18.13.567(305.67)

i remember somebody mentioned about issues with 8gb piece ram
he said the Y480 ram slot  r picky with memory modules
the oem ram module run at 1.35V. normal one is 1.5v .

Today just bought a Philips SHP1900 headphone for my Y480....

Only RM34!!!
buy at ViewNet....
Coz just now bring my friend go to itking there buy laptop, so hunt for one headphone also...

Added on August 26, 2012, 11:51 pmAnd I think ViewNet sell SHP2000 at RM44(If I din see wrongly), the SHP2000 is pack with a box with half of plastic stick at front of the box right?
