i know this might sound stupid but is EEE capable of handling AutoCAD or Office 07? assume storage space is unlimited

i'm deciding to get one and if it can handle it, i wont think about it anymore. time to get one

@splua333

have u tried AutoCAD, ProE or Catia personally? cuz those softwares are pretty cpu intensive, even on OCed 900mhz celeron

any sources i can get 4G model now? or all out of stock currently?

which and where is that Digital Mall? perai?

promo? u will be lucky to find one at rm1399 right now. out of stock everywhere for 4G webcam version T_T. i'm still looking around for one

from what i know, 1yr warranty provided is usually unofficial warranty provided by supplier. 2yr warranty only available if the eeePC being distributed by Asus Malaysia.

AFAIK, all current eeePC only 1yr warranty since Asus Malaysia havent officially launch the product here.

correct me if i'm wrong

different OS different power management. some better some worst. so there will be differences in battery life.

@sniper on the roof
is that zune theme?

hopefully i will received my 4G Black by today or tomorrow. joining da club soon.

too bad no stock with 2GB ram and A-data 16GB SDHC

just got my eeePC 4G black. in fact, now online with it

the first issue encounter is the oversize window. found a program called moveme.

WOW. i want the screen protector too. how much is tat, sniper?

i thought the screen protector is cut specifically for eee. hmmm, then i probably end up buying a 12in size and cut it

i tried ini setting on eeectl 0.2.2 and it seem like once i underclock to 4xxMHz, i cant even clock it back to higher clockspeed, even default 630Mhz.

btw, ini files for eeectl 0.2.2 are different from 0.2.0, need some remodification.

anyway, i'm happy with 630Mhz speed. battery still can last pretty long for me to surf 3-4hrs, brightness 40%

here a tip for those using 2GB ram. since XP doesnt actually need 2GB, try install SuperSpeed RamDisk and allocate 256MB or higher for ramdisk. change TEMP/TMP/Temporary Internet Files/etc to ramdisk. this reduce wear and tear to ur SSD and best of all, it's DAMN FAST

most of the default ram installed in eeePC 4G is from SiS. many ppl use kingston/corsair/adata ram without issues

XP can even run with 256MB. i ran XP with even lower ram before 1GB should be more than enough for normal usage.

AFAIK, only earlier batch has mini pcie slot for 4G Webcam version. another thing is that slotting in new SSD wont disable the onboard 4GB SSD. u have the option to select which is primary boot device.


go to pasar malam and check out those small bags. i saw a few leather pouch that can fit eeePC nicely

what bios u using? 0401 or 0533? afaik, there no need to update bios. basically the same. for higher clockspeed, just use eeectl.

kingston, corsair, a-data, etc is not good enough? u want buffulo, cellshock, crucial, etc brand for laptop? there's nothing that's the best.....

cheap? search at garage sales or go lowyat do survey.....
