and i just put deposit and order this.  http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2345360&hl=
2unit 4gb ram.  hope it compatible with g55 stock ram and can run dual
*
will surely go dual channel.. coz at slot 1 and slot 2 accessible ram slot is same ram smile.gif nvm the stock ram...


QUOTE(cslance @ Jun 28 2012, 10:12 PM)
Anyone try caddy case before? and i keep on see the ram run on dual...what is mean by that? Do i need both same Mhz to achieve this? And what is the advantages over this?
*
I give u simple example...

Jalan kampung vs Plus highway..

Jalan kampung => accident sure jem like hell.. everybody go out. then really messy.. cannot go anywhere.. so stuck there...in other words ur PC crash.. lol

PLus highway.. even tho accident.. but possibility that u are still moving is there.. even though abit slow.. but atleast u won't be stuck at one place... in other words.. just abit slow . but u can still do work.. or no affect at all.. lol

p/s: and yes u need same clock speed I.e 1600mhz and also don't forget u need same brand... or high possibility won't go dual channel.. (also it is recommended to find same brand to achieve peak performance)

BRAVO !!!!!!! rclxms.gif
monthly RM15 for vpn ??
it just damn worth !!
if can use on hp and just EXCELLENT !
*
I thought rm25 for 2 months.. then next 2 months is rm15 ..so 1 month is rm7.50? or am i mistaken.. lol

and very worth it.. heheh.. just hope VPN won't fail or ur bandwidth will kena makan... (can use HP oso.. share internet connection via laptop) hahaha

nope, it is rm 15 for 2 MONTHSi already finish the bandwidth and still downloading at speed of 400 to 500kbps

worth it


Added on June 28, 2012, 10:30 pm
yes, vpn fail kalau bandwidth will less..so important to ensure that the vpn is online...i already finish the bandwidth and it is still downloading at excellent speed(500kbps)

damn worth it..rm15 for 2 months
*
yep really worth it.. its unifi 5mbps speed already. and also yes broadband speed... but yes broadband have bandwidth... but really fast.. can host dota.. no lag.. lol only...

but for download..= maxis RM68 + RM7.50 = RM 75.50 per month.. alot worth it compared to unifi 5mbps = RM149+ lol..

n not charging too when plugged in? some said it's to protect the battery..  never experienced when i was still an alienware

yep.. it is to protect the battery.. very nice feature actually

QUOTE(eXPeri3nc3 @ Jun 29 2012, 10:59 AM)
Yup that's the thing I like about it.

I saw that before buying G55 and that's one of the reasons I'm trying out ASUS instead of Alienware

haha nice.. yep... one minor feature of the laptop.. but very useful ...

I think you can backup your current windows with AI recovery and restore on the SSD?
*
QUOTE(tanyz @ Jun 29 2012, 11:21 AM)
cant.. cos size different.. will cause problems during recovery..

PS : I tried that already.. didnt work for me.. you can try it if you want.
*
which recovery AI did u use .23 or the latest one?

but i think since the recovery comes along with too many bloatware.. 3 times format = GG.com keep uninstall bloatware

fresh install W7 ultimate is alot better and download all drivers required from website.. lol

so this option using caddy is really nice eh.. i think i will try to grab one SSD soon.. 120gb enough.. any recommended SSD ? this laptop is sata 2 or sata 3?

sata II i think.. but no harm getting sata III as when sata III comes to laptop and u decide to get a new laptop, at least u dun need to spend money for another ssd again.. 1 time cost..

the latest air recovery version from asus website.. cant remember the version..

never tried cloning.. i always do a fresh install.. i was only trying to c if ai recovery works on a diff size hdd.. IT DOESNT in my case..

1 issue i read about ssd on laptops is the BSOD.. some installations give BSOD.. luckily for me i do not have this problem yet. *touch wood*.... I using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with sp1..

i did format the hdd.. but just in case, i left the recovery partition on the hdd..

1. click "start" button
2. right click "Computer" and select "Manage"
3. select "Storage" > Disk Management
4. Select the HDD
5. you should be able to c 4 sections.  Blank , OS , Data , Recovery Partition
6. select Data, right click, delete volume
7. select OS, right click , extend volume, and follow the instructions on screen.

and voila.. you have only 3 partition left.. Blank, OS, Recovery partition.. just select OS, right click, format..

hopefully this helps.
*
ah ic... thx for the info.. sata III is quite costly... i'll just go for sata II ..

lucky another person to test it out. smile.gif coz i also always do fresh install (and of course x64 bit) or the 12gb ram would go to waste tongue.gif..

yep i think i would just leave the recovery partition as well.. for emergency... or for later use (Although i am very sure i will never use it)

i haven't do my part on reading anything regarding SSD (although i'm aware of the BSOD issue on laptop) but unsure which brand would be recommended.. one that is decent in speed and give have the less issue..

OMG... rm950?

i could stretch my budget for 120gb SSD.. lol.. but not for 260.. but games will load alot more faster if it's in SSD rclxms.gif

nope.. Just so all of you know..

WARRANTY IS NOT VOIDED UNLESS YOU REMOVE THE WARRANTY VOID STICKER...

where is this sticker located? its on the heatsink screw covering the cpu and vga.. other than that, you are free to dismantle the whole machine as you like..

that said, make sure you can fix it back !!. dun dismantle anything you cant put back together.. cos although you can bring it back to ASUS service centre to get it done, my guess is your machnie serial number will be flagged.. meaning if in the future if anything goes wrong, they might turn around and say you did it on purpose..

so if you really wan to maximise your ram :
1. please do so carefully ( i use a video camera to record how i dismantle so that i will know how to assemble it back )
2. go to asus service centre to get it done.

i dismantled this myself because, i used to work in a laptop service centre.. and i have always repaired all of my laptops by myself.. i juz purchase the parts outside..

You have been warned.
*
now i got the idea... so actually the warranty void thingy won't be affected by just removing the top cover...i thought the sticker is placed on one of the screw for top cover.. lol...

with my noob experience dismantling laptop.. i will soon perform surgery happy.gif...

guess mSATA here i come!

and what ram are u using?
