Do you guys recommend me to uninstall the Norton Antivirus that comes pre-installed in my V3242 ??

I think the Norton AV is really slowing down the Vista and also my internet connection speed.

For Anti Virus, I prefer AVG...free & does not slow down the system.

Added on May 25, 2007, 11:00 amIs there anyway to increase the battery life besides lowering down the screen brightness ??

When on WiFi mode, I intend to try to increase the battery life to 2.5 hour.
Currently can last around 2 hours only.

for vista i dun recommend AVG, coz they still got minor issues that are not really compatible ..u can have Kaspersky or Avast!. Avast! is free too ...

for amd .. i think ur batt life is consider good already ..
coz normally ams consume more power ..
or try buy higher cells batt ... ^ ^

Had any1 try installing DDR2 800 RAM into V3222AU? (or any other AMD model @ Wistron 30B5 motherboard). I'm planning RAM upgrade, and seeing 1GB DDR2 667 and DDR2 800 same price at RM160, I would go for the latter, provided it's compatible. Please advice.

Of course, I'm aware that stock Nanya 512MB RAM is DDR2 667 and installing DDR2 800 at slot 2 would cap both @ DDR2 667.

i suggest u better use the 667mhz .. more better ...
coz i dont think it support 800 mhz ..
later waste ..

yerp, ur right bro.. mine also at full use can last around 1.5 hrs..

maybe can go hp buy more better cells 1 lor ^ ^
but kinda expensive lar ..

haha... 1.5 hrs enuff d.. sempat find power point to charge.. hehe

if in hutan thn die lor ^ ^ haha ..
no lar .. depends on usage oso ^ ^

Wow, didn't expect such quick response. In fact, still googling. Actually, I'll just carry the laptop to shop and test. If can run DDR2 800, buy lor. Otherwise, get DDR2 667.

Also, guys, I'm sure most of you ran the CPU-Z verification. Does your RAM run @ 333MHz? (suppose to be at this speed as RAM is DDR2 667) I'd check mine, running @ 166.7 MHz only. (CPU/RAM divider is 1/5).

Actually, bought this laptop early in February 2007. Somehow, let my sis use it. So, quite unfamiliar with this laptop, yet.

yup most mobo still does not support 800mhz ..so going for 667mhz would be better ...

ya each lappy is diff in CPU-Z as long the multiplicator of the divider is equal then is okie already .lol

CPU-Z is a software ???
or ?? i think the mhz .. is depends on ur usage 1 .... ^ ^

CPU-Z is a software that will review all ur pc and cpu details to you hehe ... like Everest ..but some things are more details.

oic .. so i think is the ram will auto adjust to the right mhz lor ..
save power guar .. ^ ^

here you go lol

you're doing it wrong.
i think thats when its idles, it cut half of the max powahh. try in full load, or when powernow is not in effect. just run video/superpi/etc...

Yep, you're right. As soon as SP2004 starts, RAM speed shoot up to 320.x MHz, that's double.

Thanks

uhm, I wonder why my laptop wont decrease the speed when I use battery only, as it still remain on 1.6ghz, this is too much draining my battery life
but it still manage to run 2 hours, so my guess if its running at half of the speed when I use battery, i can use at least 3 hours also
NHC can do setting on thise? I already chooose under Battery there, while using current, maximize performance, and when using battery, maximise batt life.
any idea?

hmmm i think amd is still consume more power ..
thats why 2 hour consider quite ok d lor ...
or buy greater cells batt ^ ^
