Hi, I'm scouting for a notebook around rm2.3k to rm3.3k (yeah i know it's a big range hehe). I'm wondering if those V3200 with intel GPU can handle Vista aeroglass or not....

I do play games once in a while...so maybe i will go for AMD since that's the only way to get nvidia 6150. I'm looking at V3222 and V3133. I dont know if the dvdrw and additional 256kB L2 cache is worth RM700. So as the card reader etc....

Thanks for reading

If for gaming, i suggest u take the AMD model. The combination of AMD and GF have a better performance as well.

V3222 & v3202/133 not just the 256kb L2 cache and dvd-rw but also card reader,more USB port, anti-glare skin, bluetooth...So is worth to buy if u need all of this. The anti glare skin look so cool & shine biggrin.gif .

Anti glare skin makes it look like glossy? What is the difference between V3133 and V3203? The spec is the same but RM200 difference.. hmm.gif

Thanks for answering. smile.gif

v3203 is new model with new keyboard & 120GB HD space(40GB more than v3133). If u still can found v3133 then just purchase that while u dont care about HD space.

thanks for replying smile.gif
I just came back from PC shop. V3133 discontinued dy. sad.gif
I dont care about hdd....additional RM200 doesnt sound worth to me. :S
maybe i will go intel for more cpu power (i do lots of matlab programming for image processing)

Hi guys,

I wanna ask if I want to add RAM, can I just go buy and plug in the RAM myself? Kingston RAM can use? or must I use back NANYA RAM? Btw, wll it spoilt the warranty? My V3000 still has 5 months warranty...

If it will spoilt the warranty then only thing I can do is add RAM at HP Service Center? What is the price for 1Gb DDR2 SDRAM 533MHz/667MHz? Anyone can tell whether V3040TU come with 533MHz or 667MHz ram?

Thanks..=)

Edited: Forgot to ask whether it is 533MHz or 667MHz for V3040TU d...

hi, go download cpu-z to check what speed it is running.
I'm not sure about the ram upgrade and warranty..i'm still new in notebook.

Hi, i just bought V3218TU. I faced some problems:
1) How to install additional RAM?
2) I tried to install WinXP. It says can't detect my HDD. I did try with Fedore Core 6. No problem though. Any idea how to solve?

Thanks!

i think wat he mean is..
now ur lappy having 1.5G of ram, obviously that's is 512+1G ram.
due to different size of ram, they cant run dual channel...
unless u change the 512 to another 1G... make it 2X1G (and also same speed), then is dual channel already.

QUOTE(calvin_ng @ Mar 26 2007, 11:21 AM)
lAPPIE CAN RUN DUAL CHANNEL LER... MINE IS RUNNING DUAL CHANNEL

just need 2 idendical RAM that all

Hehe last time i also believed it needs two identical stick to run dual channel. But my V3218TU with 1.5GB is reporting to be running dual channel with 512mb + 1gb combo LOL. Used cpu-z and sisoftsandra. I dont know if it's software bug or wat....

Hi people, I saw this notebook in the Malacca PC fair.

V3201TU

Specifications
Intel Core Duo processor T2250, 1.73 GHz, Level 2 cache 2 MB
80 GB 5400 rpm HDD
512 MB DDR2 memory
Super Multi 8X DVD Double Layer Support
Graphics Media Accelerator 950
14.1" WXGA Display
Bluetooth
FreeDOS

Price: RM2699 (inclisive of RM399 gift)

I think it is a good buy... or it is worth buying?
I see the catalog shown 633 FSB but HP website show 533 FSB. Which one is correct?
Is the HDD SATA?
Can it run vista and multitasking?
Thanks.
*
It has 533mhz fsb. With 512MB of RAM, it's hard to run vista i guess...

yup.. you are correct..i just checked with HP Sales Annie just now, the Rm 199 can only be purchased online.

If you get it from HP Staff ( via Telephone) they will offer at Rm 300.

I regret getting mine at Rm 250...so Bro's who are buying ..please take note ..

cheers

Does it mean it has total 4 years of warranty (original 1 year + 3 extended)

OR

total 3 years only?
