haha..had the same problem with my desktop too..sharing files..most of the time, its either the antivirus or windows firewall causing he problem..just create exceptions for it..good luck!

is utorrent bette than bitcomet? my speeds for downloading are damn slow in bitcomet..so slow man...and its the latest episode for lost..and its only giving me 1-2kb/sec...any comments as to why this problem?thanks


yo guys...dunno if its serious a not..but everytime i on my computer...before it displays the opening screen to input password, the screen seems to be distorted a bit..but then after 1-2 seconds, it returns to normal..it only happens when i start my computer...after that, the LCD is ok..is this a serious problem?

Yeap, Im using Vista...home premium...yalo..why its distorted with black lines..but after that its ok..

but my fren in Melaka studying in MMU but not staying in the hostel said that when he port forward, his download speeds for bitcomet are faster boh...

Oh...haha...maybe its cos u on 24/7 gua...lol i think torrents should be ok..but nowadays nearly everything especially series are in torrent format..if cant use torrent then use direct download meh?



Wahaha...look what i got from wikipedia..proves that steventan85 was involved with Dell in the early 2000s!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell
From Marketing section:

A popular United States television and print ad campaign in the early 2000s featured the actor Ben Curtis playing the part of "Steven," a lightly mischievous blond-haired kid who came to the assistance of bereft computer purchasers. Each television advertisement usually ended with Steven's catch-phrase: "Dude, you're gettin' a Dell!" Dell fired Curtis shortly after his arrest for marijuana possession in 2003 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan; however, Dell denies that the firing resulted from his arrest, stating that the "Steven" ads had run for three years and characterizing them as "stale". The Dell ads featuring Curtis had stopped playing before his arrest, thus lending credence to Dell's statement.

No wonder lo..haha...desktop still better in doing stuff...as in general stuff..faster and better..lol..but my desktop sucks.. so have to use my dell inspiron..lol

Wow..all of these specs damn chun...but yup..better wait for santa rosa platform...3 years complete cover is a good choice..but pretty expensive and it jacks up the overall price..but..i good choice!

Ching4ever..just realized u have a external 3.5 inch hard disc..can it be used with ur Inspiron 6400?

i heard from my fren that the lappie might not have enough power to power both the internal hard disc in the lappie and external hard disc? somemore its a external 3.5 inch one? anyone have any idea?

Oh..so meaning when i buy the external casing, will they include the adaptor in it? or do i have to purchase it seperately? so meaning one USB in the lappie and one more to the socket on the wall?(for power)?

Oh...so meaning they will ask me to test on my inspiron 1st? okok thanks dudes.. what is ur brand and casing brand calvin?

it should work....lol..Im downloading it now..will tell u when i finish downloading and get it running...(hopefully)

oh ok...thanks for the info..

Which casings for 3.5 inch notebook do u recommend?

I think i'll get a 3.5" one...basically need one to store all my info...movies and etc..

I have the Zalman laptop cooler...just got it recently...they are only selling one model right? Cooler master has a few models of laptop coolers..I suggest that u get the Zalman laptop cooler...it really cools down my lappie and its perfect for the Inspiron 6400...since it is has a flat surface to support your laptop....I haven really tried or seen the cooler master ones but I heard it can scratch ur lappie based on the design....overall im really satisfied with my Zalman cooler..its quiet and does its job well...which is cooling my lappie! highly recommended

Hmm...big ah..I dun really think its big lo...abit bigger than the Inspiron 6400 and not to say that heavy also la..its reasonable..the size and weight...

I got it for RM155 from one shop in Lowyat...forgot the name...

Some pictures I took of the cooler..sorry for the low quality photos (taken with my mobile phone)

The cooler itself


The cooler with my lappie (back view)


The cooler and lappie side by side

Yeap..Zalman has only one model...but its excellent! No problem! Glad to have another Zalman cooler user around here! You wouldn't regret your purchase...hehe

Im planning on buying the S.T.A.L.K.E.R pirate one too soon...cyndic check error ah...common problem even with original discs...especially old ones...u try to change for a new one lo...they should allow u to change rite? I tried testing if my lappie can play the game from a website..and it can only play on minimal settings..recommended settings..it failed..hehe...but most of the other games can play on recommended settings.....the website can check ur computer's specs and determine if u can play the game....forgot the address though

Anyone here able to play NFS: Carbon on their lappie with Vista? I tried to play the demo but cant play...it doesnt support Vista?



Does i8kfangui support Vista? cos from the 1st page..u said it doesnt...Steven can u clarify?

Hmmm...you dun have NFS:Carbon? Calvin? I found a website thats lists programs that Vista support and it doesnt list NFS:Carbon. However, NFS:MW is in the list..Anyone here can play Need for speed Carbon on VISTA?

Oh..hehehe..okok...was afraid it would corrupt my lappie..will go download the i8kfangui now..

lol...turbo ya? how turbo?
Just installed i8kfangui...my CPU has 70 degrees heat...and im in a air-con roomed with a notebook cooler.. Im just playing music, and doing my work (running microsoft word)...running Vista with aero on...

Ur one is pirated copy or original minghao? Isit the collectors edition one? DVD or CD? lol....sorry for so many questions..cos i want to play..but like i said..saw that it is not in the Vista compatible list..and i couldn't play the demo...It goes into the game..and until the movie with EA games logo....then suddenly it exits and goes back to windows..and an error pops up..saying "windows encountered and error, search online for the problem and stop the program" or "stop the program". My fren who has a Inspiron 6400 also says that his VISTA cant play NFS:Carbon...did u do any extra stuff for installation? minghao?

lol..it seems if i am not in the aircon room, its even cooler...it can reach temp until 50-60 only..but i think also cos used very long time...cos after that, i on aircon...after use for 8 hours...then become 70...siau siau one la...can go from 50+-70+...

lol..ask Dell tech people to come clean the dust? i think like what teikwing said..ask them for better cooling solutions..better idea..

what is normal operatin temperature for laptops?

But seems like most of it are from vista and dell....please advise..
