The ac wifi modem is very rare & costly here. Afaik i dun see any of public place support it. Cheapest modem i find is RM600++ , not worth the upgrade... yet.

I was asking holloway that he has any idea for upgrading wifi antenna or not biggrin.gif

you have 4 ram slots in a g55 with i7 cpu. you can do it without voiding warranty smile.gif

.. and it's not 2x2gb; it's a single 4gb ram under your keyboard. so you still have 3 empty slots.

locally, the matching one that i know of is kingston (timing is 11-11-11-28; 1.5v). you can do 3x4gb kingston to get 16gb.

I got a Asus G55, I thinking of changing the harddisk to SSD. The brand I'm looking at is Crucial M500 480GB. Is it good enough? The reason i choose it is because I can buy it from the crucial online store.

in general a decent consumer grade ssd will do much better than a hdd.

since you're looking at this particular ssd only, it's better you ask in the ssd thread instead. there should be someone who have first hand experience on this one; or you can also google for reviews about m500 by other people.

as for online purchase, why is that you can only get it from crucial online store? have you checked out the garage sales section? getting a local set is better than getting it elsewhere (unless locally they charge you for a few hundred bucks more); local warranty normally is cheaper.

my preferences are still samsung and plextor.

well one it would be funny if u couldn't buy a crucial product in a crucial online store right?

second.. maybe broaden up a bit your variety of choices? or do you have specific preferences towards the crucial.

thirdly.. I just realize when u ask is it good enough, u might want to do a bit of reading regarding the stuff u want to buy. Some people will tell you, SSD is just an SSD everything will be the same~. Think back twice thrice biggrin.gif because the more you see the more it will not be the same.

Totally agree, especially when u ask opinion of ppl which is selling those PC stuff. mostly they wana do is push out the old stock, will not recommend you to buy the new thing they r selling tho. Do more research b4 you planned for a purchase. nod.gif
