NVIDIA Geforce 7000M is shared memory means it is a integrated gpu ..but it's performance are better off than GMA950 and also Geforce Go 6150 ..
8600m is independent memory and is dedicated meaning the performance is far superior than 7000 .. nevertheless this lappy is a nice buy ..nice price and decent spec for mild gamers . |

I have a wireless driver installed but it doesn't seem to work. What I mean is that it can't detect any wireless network under XP.
If you wanna try the driver name is "Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adaptor". |

Hi all! Aspire 4520 user. So far, wireless lan is working using Atheros driver. I just notice that it suddenly turns off when loading a program, transferring files, etc. It is really annoying. Other than that, it is really a nice machine. If only Acer made it to run originally on xp, then it is perfect. As it is, we have to scrounge for drivers, etc.

@jonuslee - So far, I am happy with the Aspire 4520. Boot up time is so quick the machine can handle most of my daily requirements i.e. emailing, some MS Office applications, etc. The only thing I can say is that the keyboard can use some improvements. I am a fast typist and sometimes, the keyboard could not keep up with me most specially the backspace. Other than that, the machine is super. I have no regrets buying it. I actually downloaded an application called Sidebar at www.desktopsidebar.com and now, my notebook looks like it has a Vista OS.

Actually, after I have used the machine for several days, the keyboards were more responsive. As regards looks, you may go check actual pictures at the acer website (www.acer.com). Personally, I like the exterior black color and interior gray color including the keyboard. Has anybody located a driver for the infrared?This post has been edited by lvl307: Jul 23 2007, 09:53 AM |

Please share if anyone manage to find the CIR driver ya. I'm planning to install XP after my stint with Vista. Vista is stable, but XP has a quicker response.

What is Acer stand on XP and Vista? Visit www.acer.com.my and 4520 is not even in their site (not a good PR move). I am torn between BenQ T31 and Acer 4520. luv the 4520 look. I am planning to run XP only but after reading this thread i have my reservation getting 4520 to run on XP. I ain't no hardcore tech fella so i do c myself getting frust.
Did any owner get any official response from Acer regarding 4520 and XP? |

After choosing the driver you want to DL, a new page will load with 4 links then just click the second link. Also you can only DL 3 drivers simultaneously.

I found the CIR driver in the CD that came with the notebook. Go to command prompt and then type the drive where the CD is i.e. d:\SW1\CIR\setup.exe
Try it and let me know. |

Is CIR the same as IR? If so, then we could use cellphones with IRs and try transferring data. Also when i installed the driver for CIR, there was an error on the device manager stating that the driver is corrupted

QUOTE(PrinceHamsap @ Aug 1 2007, 05:46 PM) can anyone short review this 4520? Overall, I like the 4520. The keyboards are not very responsive if you rest your palms on the notebook. It becomes responsive if you type using the "hover" technique where the palms of your hands are not resting on the keyboards. i am looking forward to get one with upgrade to 2GB RAM during PC Fair does looking to the screen make ur eyes tired? anti gloss screen? are the keyboard keys hard to press? is the heat is ok once use for 2 hours or more? thanks. Since I use the 4520 in the office with adequate airconditioning, I have no problems with the heat. You may want to consider a laptop cooler if you intend to use the notebook for long periods of time/gaming. Having 2 gb of ram will be nice. If you run VISTA, then it is like running XP with 512 mb of RAM. Not bad... Added on August 2, 2007, 10:57 pm QUOTE(nid4z @ Jul 16 2007, 08:51 PM) you need to install it through device manager.

Hi,
I'm helping one of my friend to setup the modem in the 4520, I just can't make it work, everytime while it registering on the network it appeared with an "Error 720". The notebook is running winxp and now i start to suspect is it the modem driver's issue, I can't seem to find any XP Driver for the modem, temporarily I'm using the Vista Modem driver provided in the CD |

Hi all..I just bought an Aspire 4520 as well and i'm having some weird problem. When the screen turns off (set from Power Settings to turn off after 5 mins of idle), and you try to move the mouse/touch pad, the screen will not turn on again! O_O. The only way to restart the whole thing or to close the lid, make it go into stand by and open it again. Sometimes when I hibernate the thing, and then turn it on again...the login screen is not displayed but is just a dark blank...have to standby and turn on again to make it display. Has anybody exprienced this problem as well? Any solutions? Thx

Hi..thx for the link...I reverted back from the Nvidia Forceware drivers to the vga driver that Acer China provided and its ok already. For some reason the problem only occurs with the Forceware Video drivers o_O...so I guess its best to use the default one Acer provided.
p.s: Forgot to mention that I'm using Windows XP. This post has been edited by ctwolf88: Aug 13 2007, 12:18 PM |

It says the driver is ok and the device is working properly but when I try to beam something using my PDA, no response. My PDA works well with my other notebook so there is really a problem with the 4520 Infrared. Also, wireless link (which has the settings of the Ir) does not appear in the control panel. you can likewise take a digital photo of the infrared port and if the photo does not show it is lighted, then it is not working (digital cameras can capture light emitted by IR which cannot be seen by the naked eye).Mine is installed properly but when I tried transfering data, it won't work.

QUOTE(lvl307 @ Aug 12 2007, 06:44 AM) please go to Device Manager and check the driver that is currently installed. Is it the Agere Systems HDA modem version 2.1.77.9? If it is, then is should be the correct driver. Try uninstalling it and installing it again using the driver from the CD. Otherwise, you can check the old post for sites whee you can download the modem driver. Goo luck! i've been did this step, but doens't work. i'm trying to unsinstall my XP now. a big trouble shoot me. my modem doesn't detected. i'm trying again to install the driver that i get from acer.cn and from the CD. what should i do? any body can help me?????  ughhhh.!  |

Yes it's supported. By default it got 512mb if u add more 1GB that will become 1.5Gb then it's not in dual channel mode. U can either use 2x512mb or 2x1GB |

QUOTE(nckent @ Aug 22 2007, 09:06 AM) me too! hving prob on playing dota! Hi, try not to use the forceware driver..i had some bad experiences with it and for some reason, the systems seems a lil bit slower with it i try 2 update my vga driver 2 ForceWare Release 162.18 but tat driver cant detect Geforce 7000m wat version of vga driver should i use? ...use the one provided by Acer China. Btw, about gaming performance, i've tried to chuck quite some old and new games into it (C&C 3, Doom 3, NFS2, WoW) and most of them work fine...just that in order to play with medium-high graphics with AA for these games, have to lower resolution o (So far i tried all the games are quite smooth @ 640x480 except for Doom 3 (lags in big rooms, didnt turn on AA, just 640x480 with medium quality), but if bump up to 800x600 will lag, unless you tune down the level of graphics to low or something, which is unacceptable for me  ).But I must say, it does blow the X3100 away...I feel that the Geforce 7000M should be able to handle games of today at a playable frame rate. Has anybody tested it with other games? Please share share ur results This post has been edited by ctwolf88: Aug 22 2007, 08:57 PM |

QUOTE(cyh03176 @ Aug 25 2007, 03:20 PM) i know that.. i am using acer 5540 but this lappy can only set to 128.. o, i see...well, its integrated so its shared with the system memory. So, as usual la..if u have 512mb ram with 256mb set for the gpu, then you'd only have 256mb of ram left for the system. Its not a must for you to add ram if you dont mind it being a lil sluggish (unless you set the gpu to use a minimal 64mb of ram). But, I strongly suggest adding up to 1gb or perhaps 2gb of ram. that's why i wanna change lappy.. for better online gaming.. online gaming doesn't need much graphic though.. btw, do I have to add RAM to support the GPU? Then again, the increased amount of memory allocated only increases the performance slightly...its still down to the processing power of the gpu.

Hi guys, I got mine a few weeks ago and the first to thing I did was to test this baby out with some games.
Thought I share some findings about this machine; 1) Ran 2 games so far --> C&C Kane & GTA San Andreas. No problems with C&C but can't run GTA SA EVEN after I've installed the right nvidia driver from that china web site. I think reason could be this card is really meant for Vista not so much for XP and I am running it on XP Pro. Solution? Install driver NVIDIA GeForce 6100 instead. Why 6100? Cause I tried many others which worked but will crash your PC after playing for a while so I'll save you guys out there some time. Also the plus from using this driver for the card is that the performance has improved~!? Somehow I think acer release the correct driver for this machine to run on XP but prolly did a half cooked job cause when I ran with the correct driver even on C&C the performance sucks, everything seems to slow down. 2) The problem with the keyboard lag is not happening to me but the keys needs a bit more pressure when pressed else you'll miss a few characters. So far no problems with this machine been playing games for the pass 24 hrs no crashing or problems whatsoever. I like this baby --> boots up fast and a real value for money. Share your thoughts with me. Cheers, Bobby This post has been edited by Delta_gate: Aug 27 2007, 12:16 AM |

The forceware 165.01 is working though and remains to be the best driver for my machine so far.I think it should run on XP Home, haven't tried it mine is on XP Pro. Cheers~!

The forceware 165.01 is working though and remains to be the best driver for my machine so far. I've been installing a few packages, I'm not sure but driver GeForce 6100 could be from the same 165.01 package. Select don't search when updating this driver and choose the driver to install from list; then pick 6100 from the list. Kinduf like forcing driver 6100 on your computer. Ignore the warning saying this driver may not be suitable for you pc, blah blah...The forceware 165.01 you are currently using (which would install GeForce 7000M by default), have you tried running GTA SA? Cos it didn't work on my pc when i used it and performance were poor. But running with GeForce 6100 worked splendidly. It'll be good if you could give it a try to confirm this issue and save our brothers and sisters here valuable time testing it. But remember you need to force the installation, by default it would not install driver GeForce 6100 on your acer lappy. Cheers. This post has been edited by Delta_gate: Aug 28 2007, 05:48 PM |

I do not have GTA SA on my laptop but tried NBA Live 07 on it. As against 7000m, no observable difference.

Yeah, you're right it might worth keeping 6100 if it works for some games and 7000M does not. Let me compile the list so far; 1) C&C Kane --> noticable performance improvement when using 6100 driver. 2) GTA SA --> can't run with 7000M, use 6100 instead. 3) NBA Live 2007 ---> no noticable improvement when using 6100 driver, but runs just the same. Any gamers out there using this lappy, kindly update this list for convenience of others. Cheers~! Bobby This post has been edited by Delta_gate: Aug 29 2007, 06:23 PM |

Because have tried using the latest forceware drivers on it but the performance for startup and shutdown was slower by a few seconds (I mean, it was noticably slower than before).

Some answers to your questions:1) max ram is 2 gb (there are 2 slots available) 2) As regards games, I have only tried NBA Live 07 but most games would work specially those that require less than 256mb of video memory (please check the minimum requirements of games and if they fall within the specs of your notebook 3) So far, the following devices are active in my 4520: Wireless lan, Fax modem, LAN Controller, keyboard, pointing devices, CIR (for remote control but not as an Infrared Port), etc. USB ports, etc. Enjoy! |

It says no device found. this model no bluetooth, only the design. because they make 1 design for many type of model.Added on August 31, 2007, 11:33 pm QUOTE(lvl307 @ Jul 20 2007, 12:42 PM) Hi all! Aspire 4520 user. So far, wireless lan is working using Atheros driver. I just notice that it suddenly turns off when loading a program, transferring files, etc. It is really annoying. Other than that, it is really a nice machine. If only Acer made it to run originally on xp, then it is perfect. As it is, we have to scrounge for drivers, etc. so far i face no problem.Added on August 31, 2007, 11:34 pm QUOTE(hosty @ Jul 19 2007, 09:06 PM) Oh ok but then ther shud be an indicator rite?

QUOTE(nckent @ Sep 2 2007, 01:00 PM) do any1 here face prob when play DOTA? Another possibility is your power management setting (i suspect) Because my notebook have this issue whereby if it goes into standby mode OR harddisk turn off after 10 minutes etc. upon waking up the PC will hang when I restart. I suspect also if you are playing your game and if you happened to go for a toilet break for 10 minutes then upon returning to your game harddisk turned off it may cause a restart also (just guessing).sometimes my 4520 will suddenly restart i think should b driver prob... i tried all many forceware - 101.26 & 101.29 (installed 7000 driver) 162.18 & 165.01 (installed 6100 driver) dy but still same wo:( any1 can help me? So you might wanna try to set your power management to never turn off and never standby (except maybe screen). Hope it helps Cheers~! |

You guys out there having problems running any other games with your lappy might want to try this method also~!Yeah, you're right it might worth keeping 6100 if it works for some games and 7000M does not. Let me compile the list so far; 1) C&C Kane --> noticable performance improvement when using 6100 driver. 2) GTA SA --> can't run with 7000M, use 6100 instead. 3) NBA Live 2007 ---> no noticable improvement when using 6100 driver, but runs just the same. Any gamers out there using this lappy, kindly update this list for convenience of others. Cheers~! Bobby |

QUOTE(Delta_gate @ Sep 3 2007, 10:53 AM) Just a suggestion, you may want to update your DirectX to the latest patch. You can find it at http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/directx.html Good luck. If it still doesn't work, you might wanna update the list I've created earlier and report it as having problem running this game. Cheers. QUOTE(Delta_gate @ Sep 4 2007, 11:18 AM) Another possibility is your power management setting (i suspect) Because my notebook have this issue whereby if it goes into standby mode OR harddisk turn off after 10 minutes etc. upon waking up the PC will hang when I restart. I suspect also if you are playing your game and if you happened to go for a toilet break for 10 minutes then upon returning to your game harddisk turned off it may cause a restart also (just guessing). I hv tried both, but my prob still doesnt solve So you might wanna try to set your power management to never turn off and never standby (except maybe screen). Hope it helps Cheers~! Any1 here got prob (system hang) when playing dota in winxp? However my fren hv no prob bcoz he's using vista... any solution in winxp? |

Also the win98 compatibility mode is a tip I gather from GTA SA site, happens mostly on XP machines just to share with you. Cheers~! This post has been edited by Delta_gate: Sep 9 2007, 08:12 AM |

u have to install both windows with achi on the beginning. if u changed the sata mode after u install windows in ide mode...well restarts and bsods.
it's easier to install vista in achi as it's installation supports it, winxp setup doesn't recognize the disk unless you load sata drivers for it during setup loading. i installed my vista on a vista 32bit with achi on and it really feels its responding faster. I recommend trying it. you can google up how to install winxp on achi. the chipset drivers has the sata drivers.

Thanks to harrykh for your updates.
So now I'm recompiling the list of games tested with this lappy; 1) C&C Kane --> noticable performance improvement when using 6100 driver. 2) GTA SA --> can't run with 7000M, use 6100 instead. 3) NBA Live 2007 ---> no noticable improvement when using 6100 driver, but runs just the same. 4) WoW ---> noticable performance improvement when using 6100 driver 5) ROSE ---> noticable improvement when using 6100 driver. Guys out there feel free to add on to this list of the games you've tested on this lappy. (please indicate which display driver you are using; 7000M, 6100, etc. Cheers. Bobby. |

QUOTE(arafat @ Sep 12 2007, 10:11 AM) Personally i think this laptop sucks.. Dear Arafat, so sorry to hear that happening to you - when you just bought a new pc; you never would expect things like this happening.Now is the 3rd time i have problem with this model 1.one day after bought,headphone cannot be detected.sound still come from main speaker.send warranty to ALL IT,get back they said it's brand new. 2.one week later,cannot on,nothing on screen.send to acer SC at TS yesterday. he said he updated bios so will be more stable with win xp. 3.today when was typing my work,laptop just go blank and cannot on again! This laptop is less than one month,but really gives me a lot of troble! what the heck acer! Anybody having same problem like me? But just to share with you, my experience with this laptop is that its a good buy; decent specs with a cheap price - only issue that I had was I wanted to use Windows XP and the drivers that came with this laptop is for Vista only. But the guys at this forum here helped a lot, you can check previous threads for links for drivers if you want to run Windows XP. Another issue what was reported by some users was that the keyboard lagging (what you typed slow to come to screen) and that can be solved by downloading the latest BIOS (can be found at this forum too). 3rd issue is the graphics display driver. I found it works better with GeForce 6100 driver instead of the original 7000M I suggest that you download all drivers for win XP, download the latest BIOS, get GeForce 6100 driver from Ndivia then format your PC and reinstall everything. Unless its a hardware fault this laptop should be no problem. Hope it helps. Cheers~! |

QUOTE(arafat @ Sep 12 2007, 10:11 AM) Personally i think this laptop sucks.. hi! Sorry to hear about your notebook. I actually experienced something like this before. Whenever the notebook turns off, remove the battery and the power supply, then wait for 30 seconds, and then reboot. Please check if your power cord is charging the battery because sometimes, the charging stops and then your notebook runs on battery power (unknown to you because the power cord is plugged) and then after a few hours, it turns off because your battery's charge is finished. Now is the 3rd time i have problem with this model 1.one day after bought,headphone cannot be detected.sound still come from main speaker.send warranty to ALL IT,get back they said it's brand new. 2.one week later,cannot on,nothing on screen.send to acer SC at TS yesterday. he said he updated bios so will be more stable with win xp. 3.today when was typing my work,laptop just go blank and cannot on again! This laptop is less than one month,but really gives me a lot of troble! what the heck acer! Anybody having same problem like me? Try to check every so often the charge of your battery. If you notice that the charge is not full or is decreasing, then unplug the power cord from the notebook and plug it again. Then, observe and see if the battery charge increases. I have upgraded the bios to ver. 1.3619 and I hope it fixes the above problem. On the overall, I like the the performance of the 4520. It has stabilized after several weeks of tweaking the bios and fine tuning. We can probably have a list of some of the applications loaded in your 4520 most specially those that could help improve XP's performance. Right now, I have the following installed: 1) AD Aware 2) Norton Anti virus 3) Cacheman Please feel free to add on what you think we should have in the 4520 |

QUOTE(arafat @ Sep 13 2007, 02:27 AM) Hi There.. imo, all it doesn't gives out refurbished product, coz their inventory stocks are from acer malaysia. if u really did get an refurbished product, then its must be acer or highpoint giving out refurbished sets to all it and then to u. Thanks for the advices does anyone know how to reset cmos for laptop? do you really think it's driver problem? because now the laptop cannot switch on at all..but the light is there.. i tried unplugged the battery for few hours,using power cable,check the ac indicator but to no avail. maybe All it gave me a refurbished product?? anyway i just sent it to Acer TS. Hope they can rectify my problem forever. and its not acer @ TS, its highpoint service centre, appointed/authorised service centre for acer products in malaysia. just my 2cents. |

QUOTE(Delta_gate @ Sep 11 2007, 11:29 AM) Thanks to harrykh for your updates. i wonder how good is the performance of the gforce 7000m compare to geforce 6150 and ati 1150.So now I'm recompiling the list of games tested with this lappy; 1) C&C Kane --> noticable performance improvement when using 6100 driver. 2) GTA SA --> can't run with 7000M, use 6100 instead. 3) NBA Live 2007 ---> no noticable improvement when using 6100 driver, but runs just the same. 4) WoW ---> noticable performance improvement when using 6100 driver 5) ROSE ---> noticable improvement when using 6100 driver. Guys out there feel free to add on to this list of the games you've tested on this lappy. (please indicate which display driver you are using; 7000M, 6100, etc. Cheers. Bobby. and wat graphic detail setting u all set ??? can the newer game run with decent performance... i mean nothing great.. but aceptable la.. acceptable fps.. and .. details.. maybe put low.. or medium low... can the game run smoothly? |

hi,
i'm just got my Aspire 4520 on win XP sp2, and having trouble on installing the NVIDIA nForce Networking controller. Anyone have any idea how to go around with this? i've also notice there's 2 types of installer for the modem. 1) Foxconn MODEM Driver 2) Liteon MODEM Driver which 1 to use, or do i need to install both? the CIR, an Infra Red communication or is it something else? also the empowering key, where can i download the software for it? if available on XP thanks This post has been edited by jmobilik: Sep 19 2007, 02:28 AM |

So... I went and bought mine last week... After reading some reviews about this model i was really worried about running it on XP cuz, I'm not very keen on joining the "Vista Bandwagon" yet!!!
But here is the GOOD NEWS.. all new stocks of these are now shipped in WITH XP DRIVERS.. yes you heard it right the NEW STOCK OF 4520 COMES WITH XP DRIVERS.. in my DRIVERS CD.. both VISTA and XP Drivers are available!! My machine is working fine with all drivers installed.. and so far so good.. I liked the model because the specs are good for that price range... Cheers Guys!!

QUOTE(Nashraf @ Sep 24 2007, 04:33 PM) do you guys know of an AMD update for the proc that this lappy use? looks like there's no response to my question....maybe most of 4520 owners here know bout it but i will post anyway for those who might not know.initially, the amd turion processor that this lappy use will run at top speed e.g. 1.8GHz full time even on batt or at very low load. I noticed this when I run everest and the proc speed does not change dynamically like intel processors do. So I guess this is what causes the batt to drain faster than normal. When I formatted my friend's lappy which is a Compaq Presario that uses AMD turion too, I noticed there is an update patch for the proc in drivers cd. So I went to AMD site and found out that there is an update to fix the prob I mentioned above. I downloaded and installed it. Sure enough, the proc speed change according to the workload and power source. On idle condition, the speed is 0.8GHz..Now I can get a slightly longer batt life up to three hours of normal typing usage without the wifi on. With wifi on, I might get 2.5 hours. Hope this might be of a help. |

Nashraf was talking abt AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology Driver
not AMD Dual-Core Optimizer QUOTE AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology Driver Allows the system to automatically adjust the CPU speed, voltage and power combination that match the instantaneous user performance need. Download this Setup Installation program (EXE) to automatically update all the files necessary for installation. This package is recommended for users whom desire a graphical user interface for installation. This .EXE driver is a user friendly localized software installation of the driver designed for end-users. This driver supports AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology on Windows XP SP2, Windows 2003 SP2 x86 and x64 Editions. dl at : http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_ty...ities/setup.zip AMD Dual-Core Optimizer The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. Applications that rely on RDTSC do not benefit from the logic in the operating system to properly account for the affect of power management mechanisms on the rate at which a processor core's Time Stamp Counter (TSC) is incremented. The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer helps to correct the resulting video performance effects or other incorrect timing effects that these applications may experience on dual-core processor systems, by periodically adjusting the core time-stamp-counters, so that they are synchronized. more info on http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/Techni...1_14098,00.html This post has been edited by nckent: Oct 5 2007, 04:47 PM |

I found something father interesting in the Geforce 7000m.The 7000m card has the funtion to adjust the clock to fit with the workload.When not running anything it reduce the core clock to 100Mhz.I think it is the reason cause some performance lost in some game.When I run Warcfaft 3 the framerate often change from 22fps to 34fps.I think when we install 6100 driver we has disable this feather so it gain some performance in some game.Geforce 7000m can overclock quite well too.I can change the core clock to 430Mhz which help increase 3dmark 01 score from 4400 to 5100

I've installed both the Optimizer and the Mobile Technology Driver....
To me a casual gamer, i did notice the most significant change is the temperature of my notebook. It took a dive drastically, from an average of 54'C to 58'C right down to a staggering 29'C (With the help of a cheap RM 19.90 Notebook cooler). With regards to the Optimizer, i did installed 2Moons on my rig and first with the Mobile Tech Driver installed, the machine lagged abit initially during the loading sequence of the initial game, however during the game it was reasonable smooth with all the bells and whistles switched on. So far so good....anybody got a link on the review of the use of these AMD utilities? Are they any good? are they stable? what impact does it have on the notebook in the long run? |

You need to change your Graphic memory speed to something around 370-400 Mhz do not but that number too high or you will have a BSOD.
If you need to manage your CPU voltage and multiplier you can download RMclock.It work like AMD dual core optimizer but have more feature and resource friendly.You can undervoltage your CPU to save battery and lower the heat,manage how your CPU change speed to save battery.

What are the latest Display Driver that supports the 7000m for you guys ?
I got the 162.18_forceware_winxp_32bit_english_whql.exe and it's working without hack/mod/force although it's not as fast as the 6100 driver. I'm gonna try ntune later. I hope it works like Chu said. Edit: I did it, first of we need to disable the Options in the MOBILE category. There are two of them although I'm pretty sure the culprit is Powermixer alone. Don't be fooled by the note that Powermixer only works when on Batt power, it also works on AC power. Turning on PowerMixer WILL makes the GPU go to 100/250Mhz even when playing a game, even on AC power. Since that option is in the Standard Driver options I don't think people need to download NTune to have the GPU work on full power. But if you want to Overclock do use NTune. Always remember to disable Power Mixer, the overclocking won't work otherwise. Now I have mine going @400/333. Seems stable, notice a few FPS increase in CS:Source. Although I'm still lagging a lot (40fps drops to 22fps) if smoke is around (smoke grenade). Temperature never go over 70 degrees highest was 69 degrees. What are your settings ??? Share!!

I use Forcewave 156.57.My highest stable clock that I tseted is 520/405 .With a cheap notebook fan the GPU temp never over 70 C.You should careful when increase Memory clock since it can cause BSOD.
I also recoment you to use rm clock.It is a small but very powerful utility that can change LCD panel Brightness, CPU mutiplier , undervoltage CPUto increase battery time and lower the temperature.It is the combination of Acer ePower and AMD dual core optimizer AMD mobile technology but very resource friendly. |

Thanks for that. So should I uninstall Dual Core Optimizer first then ? This utill seems very useful since ePower never worked for me on XP (bugs like LCD max brightness to be 66%).
Any special options I should set RMClock or is everything Automatic or functional on default settings ? |

You can uninstall Dual core optimizer if you Turn on the funtion called "Synthronize Time stamp counters" if you didn't turn that on you can use "Dual core optimizer.But you should uninstall the driver of AMD that has the funtion to manage the clock (I forget what it called)
You can choose the VID 0.775 for FID 4.0x and VID 1.025 for FID 8.5x (in my case it is a TK-53).RM clock will adjust VID in the middle of those FID value. In the Power on demand profile turn on "Use P-state transition" and chose the number of "step" the CPU will change arcording to the Workload in my case I only chose 3 value 4x,6.5x,8.5x And remember to chose the profile on the profile tab .This program has proplem with windows XP screen saver.Every time scren saver is active the program don't work.I still don't know how to fix it other than turn of the screen saver |

I installed Windows Xp on this computer with AHCI.The performance still the same not worth the trouble.First you need a program called "nlite" download it then download a file called "ahci_v101012.zip" (google it) then extract it.When using nlite there will be a step call "integrate driver" or something like this point it to the .inf in ahci_v101012 folder.It quite easy you can find more information about using it on http://www.nliteos.com/guide/part2.html

Oo, are u using XP or Vista ? it does happen to me occasionally, it restarts so fast but I could see the blue screen (BSOD) everytime. I'm using XP latest BIOS, drivers. I install new drivers all the time as they become available.
If you want to see the BSOD itself, not sure why you want to, maybe you can debug it or something, you can go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> [Startup And Recovery] Settings -> uncheck "Automatically Restart". Since you mention that it happens during intensive task...actually lately I'm downloading like gigs of data in uTorrent and everytime I close and open uTorrent it checks the huge files for resuming purposes. And sometimes it restarts but not all the time. I'm beginning to that think it's the hard disk. |

Sup guys..sry havent post for so long liao..too busy with exams and work
...anyway to those who still have not found a solution for the keyboard lag problem, here's something i just discovered. It seems that for some reason, there is a conflict with the touchpad or something liddat..i have no idea why..but just try this. Turn off your touchpad by pressing FN + the F key with the touchpad icon (I think its FN+F7)..then the typing lag is gone!! http://www.havelaptopwilltravel.com/a-work...rd-lag-problem/ Of course, you need a mouse to use the pointer o..but at least it bloody fixes the stupid lag..cuz its so annoying when I was typing my reports. Btw, is there any patch to fix this problem forever? If not i guess the method above would be the best solution for now =/ p.s: I've also tried Bioshock on the 4520..lol..it runs at low settings and all, but a bit the jerky =/...if you manually tweak the ini file and set the resolution to a pathetic 400x300 it runs quite well ...but looks like Quake graphics liao On the other hand, Half Life 2 on the 4520 looks and plays great at 720x480 with max settings and x2 AA (good framerate).This post has been edited by ctwolf88: Nov 29 2007, 10:17 AM |

Hi, I've stumbled upon this keyboard lag thing possible solutions at http://www.havelaptopwilltravel.com/acer-4...a-bios-problem/ while searching for the old Bios 3618 for Aspire 4520. I need to flash it back to the old bios as the latest Bios 3619 which is meant for MS Windows Vista had caused some glitches and few BSODs to my Xp pro system. Will stick to the old settings until, should there be any, Bios update for Xp is available.

This is what some guy tried and he claims that its working as it fixed the keyboard lag..I haven't try it myself though:- I tweaked the settings on my Synaptics Application. Here is what I did: 1. Open Synaptic Appz and go to Device Settings Tab. 2. Select Synaptic and Click on Settings. 3. Go to Tap Zones and Uncheck Enable Tap Zone. 4. Select Pointer Motion, Go to Edge Motion, and Select No Edge Motion. 5. Now the last thing I did was, Select Pointer Refresh Rate, and Check Slow Refresh Rate. All these steps fixed my Keyboard Lagging on my Acer Aspire 4520. Keyboard responded normal now and its really nice to work with. This post has been edited by ctwolf88: Nov 29 2007, 10:24 AM |

I just bought an Acer Aspire 4520-5803 a couple days ago. It has an AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor. It's running Vista Home Premium 32 bit with an NVIDIA GeForce 7000M video card. At random times, the laptop will do one of two things. It will either freeze up and the screen goes blank, or the screen goes gray with diaganol lines with the laptop still running in the background. I really can't say what is causing this. It happens randomly. When gray lines appear, the laptop still seems to be running things in the background. Close the laptop, open it back up and it's fine. When the screen turns off, right before, everything locks up then screen shuts off. Laptop still has power as if it is on. When rebooted it says that the problem was with NVIDIA. Please Help!!!! I emptied my bank account for this as a gift for my fiancee. I only have a couple days left to return it if I should. Thanks in advance!!!

I have read about this happening in a couple other instances but no real resolution was given. I'm wondering if perhaps I just happen to have gotten one of the faulty ones or if this is as simple as a driver issue being that I am using Vista Home Premium. Spending this kind of money on something and having problems with it right out of the box is a real kick in the d***. Aside from my issue, everything else I read about Acer laptops has been good. Everyone seems to like their's. Leaves a real sour taste in my mouth..... Thanks again.....Added on December 7, 2007, 11:50 amWell, after much deliberation, I have decided to return the laptop and exchange it for a new one. I've gotten the same model in hopes that I just had a faulty one before. I'll update further if the problem exists with this one. This post has been edited by siemech82: Dec 7 2007, 11:50 AM |

I recently bought this laptop during latest PC Fair. AMD Turion X2 2.0 GHz (hello my AMD Friends)
. Upgrade to 1.5GB RAM (only 1.25 because of nVidia shared graphics 256 RAM reserved for it). I bought Linux model and installed WinXP and the drivers I got from Ronald Soo site. Thanks Ronald Soo! Overall, it's performance is good. I only try PSX Emulators and it works well. I tried to install C & C but when I try to execute the program after installed, it hangs. Any suggestion or solution? New games like Overlord can't be installed at all because it need non-shared Graphic card. |

similar to ghost. Actually, it is simpler to use. When you run the program, select disk management, then select clone hard disk (make sure you have an external hard disk attached through usb), and then off you go.

Hi there SK, what do you mean by rewriting the memory programme?? Just for my knowledge ler, cos I never heard of this kind of workarounds to solve memory problems.Usually its either NOT properly inserted, or an incompatible memory type (just change to the correct type - many diff types of RAM) but never heard of rewriting the memory programme.... Are you sure its not updating the BIOS software? Just for curiosity sake ler so everyone can learn new things. Cheers. |

I just tried Unreal Tournament 3 on the 4520 and it can actually play it @ 15-20fps with screen percentage set to 75, texture details to 1 and world details to 1. It wont look pretty but at least it runs the game at a playable speed
p.s: Requires latest version of Nvidia Drivers, 169.21 onwards (force install the Geforce 6100 driver as mentioned in previous posts). This post has been edited by ctwolf88: Jan 6 2008, 04:07 PM |

Just wondering, I'll be getting my very first laptop, and I wanted something that last long, for gaming, is this the right laptop for me? I found one shop in Lowyat, selling for under 2.4k, pay an extra 60 bucks to upgrade to a 2GB RAM, which I'm not so sure if that is recommended if I were to run Vista with it.

Anyone that have run 3DMark 05 on this lappy please share ur results here.
I have run mine with 512 ram and I got a score of 630. I tried running another test with my fren's lappy, a 4520 with 1gb ram. I used 2 configurations; one is with 128mb set to the nvidia memory and another one is 256mb set to the nvidia (this is supposed to activate the turbo cache right?) well unfortunately, the score for both configuration is around 640 Anyone got a higher score than mine? |

even if u buy with Vista OS installed, u are not going to get the Original Vista CD. You wil get some cd with preloaded OS or recovery cd only..with that u can install Vista.

Hey, for all you Acer 4520 owners, your CPU is not suppose to be soooo hot. Th reason is because your CPU & memory is running at 100% all the time.Please download the AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology Driver (for XP & Win2003 server) at http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/Techni...1_14098,00.html This is to allows the system to automatically adjust the CPU speed, voltage and power combination to match the instantaneous user performance need. Unlike Intel processors, this feature needs to be installed for AMD dual processors. YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED - DON'T COME CRYING WHEN YOUR PC HANGS FROM OVERHEATING OR SO HOT THAT IT BURNS A BLARDY HOLE ON YOUR DESK~!!!! haha cheers guys... |

Finally got my 4520 today!
Thanks alot to rustyteddy for his helpful info and to william for the good deal! I got it for rm2100 with a single piece of 2gb ram I love it alot. amd turion 64 x-2 tl-60 2.0ghz,120gb HD, nvidia geforce 7000m Just a slight problem, in comparison with my desktop, this lappie seemed rather slow for the internet connection. I'm using a router and running it on vista ultimate. Any advice? And as said by delta_gate, the amd driver will reduce the heat problem. but the driver is only available for xp. so do i need to do anything for my vista instead? I've installed all the drivers from the provided Acer's cd. Added on January 21, 2008, 5:58 pmFor those of u who need the driver and the acer empowering applications, here's the acer site i came across Click here Just select the product and model, then click search. It will be all there This post has been edited by Miux: Jan 21 2008, 05:58 PM |

hiya guys..
just bought on the 5th Jan 08 for RM2099 @ imbi... got some freebies n free ram upgrade to 2Gb but there a few questions i want to ask 1) is it normal for the vents on the top left to be hot when playing games, such as warcraft 3? 2) usb drive cannot be safely removed from the systems, so i had to unplug it just like that... - Edit - I'm using win xp pro sp2 This post has been edited by Broody: Jan 24 2008, 02:19 PM |

perhaps 1gb is enuf to run in vista..but i would suggest to hav more than 1gb ram for smooth performance due to the shared memory with your Graphic Adapter..unless try setting the bios to 64mb for graphics card size to have extra ram spaces.

QUOTE(Oakha @ Mar 2 2008, 04:24 PM) Hey everybody Hi there, I'm one of the users who has been testing quite some games on it o...my model is the one with the 1.9ghz processor but 2.0 and 1.9 wont be much of a difference i guess. Ram-wise its the same. i planning to buy acer aspire 4520 with AMD Turion 64 X2 TL 60 (2GHz) Nvidia Geforce 7000M 2g ram this spec enough for me to play heavy game or doing 3D design?? heavy game like CoH, tiberium war (not crysis laaaa) The games i've tried on it are WoW, Doom 3, CoH, tiberium wars, Bioshock demo, America's Army, Unreal Tournament 3, Guitar Hero 3, Warcraft III FT, Half Life Orange Box, and Call of Duty 4. In short, I could say that most of these games are playable with low resolution settings (640x480 or 800x600) with medium-low settings. Please refer to my list below: WoW - playable at 960x600 with medium settings Doom 3 - playable at 640x480 with medium or low settings (however in some of the boss battles, it might get rather laggy) Company of Heroes - playable at 800x600 with all low settings (can bump up a bit but too laggy for my tastes) America's Army - playable at 800x600 medium settings Tiberium Wars - playable at 800x600 with medium-low/low settings Bioshock demo - quite laggy, but it is still sort of playable at 640x480, all low (you could also tweak the config file to get more fps from it, but the graphics would look quite bad o) Unreal Tournament 3 - its playable with graphics at 640x480, scaling at 75%, and all low settings (15-20fps+-) Guitar Hero 3 - IMO, not really playable even with lowest settings..laggy and the notes dont really reach in time. If there's a tweak to reduce the resolution to 640x480, i'd say maybe it could be playable. Warcraft III FT - well, obviously this one is playable =P Orange box - playable at either 720x480 with medium-high settings (for me i prefer to turn on AA and reduce resolution) or 800x600 with medium-low settings. Call of duty 4 - quite playable at the optimized settings. p.s: Driver used: forceware 196.21 Geforce 6100, graphics memory set to 256mb Basically, the performance of the 7000m is rather equivalent to an entry level Geforce 6. Hope this has helped you to have a better understanding of the graphics performance for the 4520 =) This post has been edited by ctwolf88: Mar 5 2008, 10:37 AM |

If yes then try take it back to Highpoint for a replacement. But cracked LCDs are not eligible to be replaced even you are on warranty. The price for the LCD is around rm490 plus highpoint service and labour rm100 it makes it around 600rm. Hope this helps |
