QUOTE(kc26 @ Nov 26 2007, 11:27 AM) Hey guys: Almost going to get this benq S41 from john... 1)What is the difference between S41 and S41H? 2) How sensitivity is the DVD drive? Any major problem 3) GPU problem i keeping reading, happen in most unit or very few? 1)I'm not very sure. 2)So far I've only encountered DVD problem for once(playing pirated dvd movie la).Cannot read from the disc and very(i mean very) loud spinning noise coming out from the drive so i stop it immediately. 3)So far GPU no problem(no OC, the driver is installed from the disc from the manufacturer for vista) highly recommended notebook for its price to perfoemance ratio. So far my friends dell compaq and asus all went back to manufacturer for hardware failure  but my s41 till now no problem

Well if u fully use the proc surely 7300 will perform faster because the clock speed is faster.e.g: u cant feel the difference of performance of both the processor if u use your pc to play minesweeper.Both will perform almost the same speed.But if u are heavyduty user/hardcore user then u might see the difference. Juz my 2cent.Correct me if i'm wrong. Added on November 26, 2007, 10:03 pmStill until now i am not satisfied with the s41 LCD.Maybe its my angle problem(my screen is the same height as me head is) so i can hardly see the screen clearly in full.the edges and sometimes the side is not clear and when there is a dark scene the side and edges I cant see(which made me lost cs so many times  ). Anyone encountered the same problem?My girlfriend's s31 don't have such problem(maybe cause the screen is smaller)But it seems like her image is sharper then mine, anyone knows how to make the images sharper and nicer? lastly,is constant 55~57 celcius safe for my notebook?Or should i get a cooler?(Its really constant no matter i put it at idle or gaming the heat is still the same) This post has been edited by freeman1314: Nov 26 2007, 10:03 PM

QUOTE(Jeffery @ Nov 26 2007, 10:19 PM) hey guys, performance increased again. I changed the GPU driver to the latest one and OC to core 575mhz, memory 777mhz. 3dmark06 in 1024x768 res 3849 marks, imagine Acer 5920 with 8600M GT without OC reach only 3200 marks ^^ Game update again. Without OC, s41 able to play nfs pro street at 1024x768, all high, shadow med, 2X AA at 22 to 25fps (lag at lobby but playable during race). After OC at same setting able to play at 30 fps  Wow..Impressive Which version of driver are you using? mind to share the link?

Other media player can except youtube thn it probably wouldn't be defects on hardware ...so i think they won't replace 1 for you.try installing the newest flash plugin from adobe then try again. i think this is the correct link but not sure u can try http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/do...=ShockwaveFlashgood luck
