QUOTE(babyrabies @ Dec 12 2007, 12:34 AM) yeah, any bangla shop in lowyat will do. u need to transfer the panel cover frm the current drive as well, if u want yo lappy to look seemless with yo drive, otherwise u dun need to. It's purely cometics option. If ure buyin LG hitachi drive then it fits the current one perfectly. Kepp the current one if need to send yo laptop back to BENG CS for whatever stuff that craps out in the future, just in case if they comeout with silly excuses which holds u liable for terminating your lappy warranty, u know wat i mean. cheers! Added on December 12, 2007, 12:47 amHAHA! nuts ya? i've been playin crysis and gow for the past weeks at tat 590c 900m , not even a single bsod. eat that gemstone owners! gosh... u actually played in long hour wif OC? mind to share the temperature of ur baby s41? and do u use any cooling pad? if yes, wat's the brand and model of the cooling pad? lolz... i started the OC but i didnt play for long hour... kinda lazy to play game... Anyway, I'm planning to get a decent and cheap cooling pad, any idea? This post has been edited by Jeffery: Dec 12 2007, 03:43 AM

QUOTE(babyrabies @ Dec 12 2007, 07:53 PM) U dun have to play game to stress the bugger, loop 3dmark06 for 12 hours or render some serious 3d scene is goodenuff to know if it's a stud or a dud. lol! BTW, gddr3 ram can easily run 900mhz. Dun even bother with anything lower. It's an unwritten rule. I dunno wats the temp but it only feels warm at the exhaust. Sometimes on cooling pad but most of the time no. I personally dun think it makes much difference with the cooling pad. BTW, my pad is NINJA. Silent killer ya! I've love to actually stress my lappy not becoz im mental but it's good for the peace of mind. like, U only got 1 year of warranty, my philosophy is - better crap out now rather than then... My experience is if a lappy can last 1 year of serious stress it can last 2 more. Hell, i really do think lappy's life is good only for 2 years before u disowned them for something better. BTW, that DELL xps 1730 gives me a boner. Perhaps that will be my next victim. ic... thx

davidmak must be one of those customer service executive lol..
anyway, improving their so called professionalism of the SC, doesn't solved most of the problem. Benq must oso establish a skillful technical team and well prepared stock of spare part to fix the problem laptops fast.

lolz... guys, yesterday i was arguing wif my fren about the s41 family models. FYI, the pic i post earlier is the s41 my fren bought yesterday.
He managed to get a s41 wif t7250 cpu at 3.5k where t7100 at 3.7k. I advised him thru sms tat if possible not to take the t7250. Reason being is the "50" is actually Intel's revamped product which produced to cut cost of the cpu. Wat I concerned is not about the speed, (where t7250 outperform t7100 500mhz... wtf..) is about the quality. Thru history of electronic products, manufacturer able to offer better features at lower price of the predecessor product bcoz they produced something similar but using diff OEM and leads to worse quality.
Guys, do u think my concern is right? and i admitted i shudn't suspect Intel of producing lousy quality cpu and i was juz over reacted lol. Back then i was like a noob trying to advice ppl not to take a higher spec wif lower price.... U know, sms hard to explain those things to ppl...

ya... coz b4 that i have no actual proof that t7250 is actually a lower end cpu (which we can't say that) coz i was in cinema lol... But my concept of saying t7250 is a lower quality revamped product bcoz sometimes products like handphone e.g. w810i and k550i. k550i released a year later than w810i and provide better features like larger sms storage, dual led, faster speed, caring cybershot camera and everything that w810i offers but the price of w810i and k550i are almost same. The reason being is the manufacturer has changed the some of the parts' OEM and caused k550i has much worse camera than w810i. So the example given is why i concerned about the t7250's "50". lolz... perhaps i was worried too fast without analyzing that Intel is producing their own cpu and no way the quality will be gone. haha... it juz a silly concern lol p/s: Like last time when ppl rather buy the old batch of PSP than new batch of PSP bcoz we studied and concerned about the parts of the device. Bcoz last time older batch PSP is using Sharp lcd and Sony changed the OEM to Samsung in order to cut cost. It turns out that Sharp lcd is way better bcoz of the response time is shorter than Samsung's lcd. That's why newer and better thing doesn't mean the result will turns out better.

QUOTE(davidmak @ Dec 22 2007, 10:23 AM) I understand what you mean. Usually phone manufacturers would introduce new features on some lower end models to test the market and customer demands. They will do this before integrating them on their flagship models. The fact that K550i was released later than W810i supports this notion because if K550i was to be released with W810i-era features, then no one would want to buy it because K550i predecessor could be in direct competition with it. Also the camera feature that is lower-end than K800i or W810i is understandable because after all K550i is a lower end model. Anyway W810 or W800's camera is limited at best because it doesn't have an autofocus system. I don't think there is anything to do with OEM parts of something. Coming back to topic, the same strategy is adopted for silicon manufacturing process. Usually graphics processor manufacturer would want to test a new manufacturing process like 55nm with their lower end graphic cards. Because lower end graphics card are less complex, it is easier to make them and provides a good platform to test newer process like 55nm. Once they have the knowledge as well as solved all the problems with it, then they introduce it to their higher end processors. For Intel, their numbering system is quite consistent. A higher number would suggest better features and better performance (to a certain extend). That 50 is only meant that it only has 2MB of L2 cache rather than 4MB on similar 2GHz models. But curiously T7200 is having 4MB L2 cache. The downside to it, it only has a 667MHz FSB. Only the T7300 is having full featured 4MB with 800MHz. Ultimately T7300 is higher than T7250 and T7200 which supports their numbering system. I don't know why Intel has 3 variants of 2GHz with so little difference in features, maybe they want to maximize usable chips from 'crippled' ones. I think T7200 is a better buy although it only has 667MHz. Not much difference in my opinion, when it comes to laptop non-gaming use. That 4MB L2 cache plays a more important role in respect to performance. FYI, the selling point of w810i and w800i is camera wif autofocus.  anyway, i agreed with wat u said about intel is quite consistent wif numbering, i was juz overreacted lolz.. Hey guys, how to make the sound card disable the benq realtek hd control panel? i want the realtek sound manager like in desktop, which able to do voice cancellation and key tuning This post has been edited by Jeffery: Dec 22 2007, 02:22 PM
