As far as I know, X1075 won't have any other difference from X1031, except the processor upgrade to 1.4GHz. I'll confirm the L2 cache details and let you know of any update.

*Update: I've checked the system BIOS of X1032 model in my office (Same architecture as X1031 and X1075). I think Compaq made some mistake on their brochure. The system BIOS showed that this machine does have 1024MB L2 cache and 64MB L1 cache.

this is rather startling, just now the compaq salesgirl, now the brochure also got mistake. Have to give another call then

thanks netboy for the clarification

hehe.. the compaq sales girl also refer to the brochure one. No point calling them when they're referring to the mistaken brochure.

You can visit my showroom and take a look yourself on the system bios.

nx7000 has reduced price in Star Two (The Star newspaper) to rm5,499

Evo N620C is still at rm6,399. Last time someone offered me at rm4,500, too bad I wasn't sure that time

New Compaq pricing (w/ new specs in certain models):

N620c - PM1.4/40G/256/DVD/XP Pro/3yrs RM6,399
nx7000 - PM1.3/40G/256/DVD/XP Pro/1yr RM5,999

*X1075 replacing x1031, x1090 replacing x1032. I'm expecting both x1031 and x1032 for a price drop soon.

will x1031 still availible during december ?.... if drop .. price will drop till how much le ah?

Heard that the Notebook Processor price been drop, so how soon can we get a price drop on the notebook?

If you're waiting for notebook prices to drop, I'm afraid that you have to wait until at least February to April next year for any drop.

since the next Nov PC Fair in coming soon, any affects on the price too? or lots of free upgrades/gift? Should we wait for that?

If you need the notebook now then buy it now. If you only need it later, then buy later. If you don't need it at all, then don't buy. Simple.

It seems that you need a good 3d graphic card for your notebook. Go for a notebook with dedicated graphic memory. Radeon 9000 or 9200 or nVidia Ti4200 2Go is definetely your target.

pentium-m is good o pentium 4 ??
pentium-m 1.7ghz n pentium 4 3.04ghz which 1 good??
what is the different?

Pentium 4 3.04GHz is more powerful but Pentium-M 1.7GHz is more power saving.

netboy u seem to be in the line of notebooks ... im planning on getting one which is in the price range of RM4k-5k

hopefully wif wifi ... combo drive ... usb2.0 ... firewire.. the rest doesnt really matter to me as long as its pentium 4 mobile processor since that would be cheaper than centrino. speed is not a factor. any recommendations?

im kinda a fujitsu fan cuz all my frens got fujitsus and you would not believe wat kinda service they get ...EXCELLENT SERVICE ... they're keyboard got dust or watever they just bring it back and they clean it for u ... how nice of them to do that ... and my frens to kacau them hehe really from wat i've seen my frens are really reayl satisfied customers ... they even changed the battery of their notebooks cuz it states that dono wat the battery cells are drained or empty or something so they just replaced him wif a new one and he didnt really know that his battery sucked ... i give 2 thumbs up for fujitsu ..

however i noticed fujitsu isn't really famous for their 'cheap' prices ... and i cant find any places which shows the price tag of the notebooks besides the newspaper.

So recommendations?
