jst got y480
the explorer so slow like a turtle
i just the cpu usage n ram usage is very very low only
seem not using at all
i doubt is the hardisk 5400rpm problem
or the driver problem
currently i still not able to find the nvidia driver
anyone care to share out whre the driver?
the lenovo website drive doesnt match as well
driver support is SUX to max


Added on June 16, 2012, 11:55 pmok find out the slowness is cause by 2 different frequency ram use
one is 1333 another is 1600

notice my machine
when plug in 8gb or different frequency ram
it give a unstable result
did a hardisk read show 5mb/sec
when pllug that ram off it show 80mb/sec
it so slow that take 15 sec to load a IE page

still finding out whether is the ram causing the issue
or hardisk bottleneck?

as long you have receipt ,ur warranty is valid even the page not update

dead meat : open your case you'll see a dark film,remove that
cuz u already have a metal casing y need that black piece of film to block the heat from disolve
get a cooler

now my 640m LE run like a champ
10k ++ score in 3dmark 06
witch 2 also can play

now hd temp 45-49 idle
when work is 53
gaming is 60
sometime will very hot
and system not stable
but now after some tweak still bearable

soon getting SSD

benlaw, i tot the dark film was suppose to protect the hdd from.. something like static. technicians from store always scold me for not putting anti static cover to my hdd when i transport/take it, they say it'll spoil easily
*
msia is a tropical country,
antistatic is easy

we need good heat distribution for the hdisk
not like winter country
where temperature is not a big issue

use SSD la it'll solve the HDD temp issue
it's not wise to put HDD in the middle
the temperature are just too high
