tomorrow i gonna get my new benq laptop..
here is the specification:

BENQ S73G
Intel C2D 1.66GHz
14.1"
1GB DDR2
100GB HDD
DVD-RW
Bluetooth
WIFI
DVI PORT
LINUX OS
ATI X1600 512MB HYPER MEMORY

just booked from john's friend.. hehehe..

i'm not sure whether my S73G also got a heat problem or not.. i'm using NHC to monitor the notebook temperature. when in battery mode, it normally reach 51-55 degree.. but when in AC mode, it can reach until 68 degree.. is that normal?

sometime, my notebook auto restart by itself while i'm doing some work with adobe photoshop or watching movie.. should it be a software problem or hardware problem? i have upgraded the ram from 1GB to 2GB Kingston..

thanx for all the replies given by the forumers..
in that case maybe i will take cloudstrife07 advice..
how much the 2GB Corsair RAM now?
later maybe i have to go to pakistan..
so have to makesure i'm not facing any problem with my lappy..
any shop would take trade-in on my Kingston RAM? hehehe..

RM 110 for 2GB Corsair RAM? That sound reasonable for me..

my s73g normal temperature for CPU also around 60++ ..
i think it's normal larr.. huhuhu.. and i'm using zalman notebook cooler..

i just changed my 2GB kingston RAM to 2GB corsair RAM...
so far no more auto-restart problem so i guess it should be more stable now..

about the wireless, haven't try it yet since i'm using network cable to connect the internet.. hehehe..

not really sure bout other brands.. but i think not much different..
zalman have a better design since it doesn't cover up the front panel so
i can plug in my external speaker nicely.. hehehe

I've just installed vista ultimate on my s73g..
luckily it detect and install the driver automatically from the dvd installer..
including the graphic card and audio.. hehehe
there are few drivers only cannot install but can get the driver from benq website..

should i upgrade to the latest driver or just using the one provided by windows vista?

so now your laptop get back to normal after u switch back to windows xp?
after i install vista SP 1, my notebook also become hotter... normally my idle temp is 72-73 degree (on power)
sometime it auto shutdown becoz i set my NHC cpu temperatures shutdown at 100 degree..
maybe i should switch back to windows xp too..

bro, how did u change your nhc setting to undervoltage?
at the moment i'm only using the default setting..
but i noticed the warning said that if we wrongly set the voltage to low,
the system will become unstable..
do u mind to share the tips?
thanx in advance..
