ya2 mayb
cuz now ddr ram is so expensive
1gb already rm200, compared to my 4gb oni rm280, somemore i sold my old ram to my housemates at rm80, so jz rm200
i heard sp1 will make d windows showing 4gb la, but x reali sure whether there's reali 4gb there, or they jz simply showing

ya 8600 gt js cukup-cukup saja...but i experience b4 is when original dell forceware driver, i play cysis totally cannot run at low setting even low resolution....after i updated the forceware, play crysis run quite smoothly in med setting n 1024x768 resolution...

yeah, it also depend on your mobo. so your laptop BIOS show 4GB?

about SP1, we have to wait until the "official" release
if microsoft still cannot maximize 4GB RAM with SP1, we still have hope for SP2 in the future *finger cross*

Just curious... need so much ram for what?

haha
good question
act i oso hardly utilize half of the 3.5gb (never more than half actually), even i multitasking (dunno bout during gaming la)
but it's always better to have more ram, if u can afford it
plus laptop there's nothing much u can upgrade on to improve the performance, unlike desktop
rite?
but i reali x sure how much a bigger ram can help in gaming la

sniper,

did u install any mods on your Crysis? You mention high, I supposed it's XP. I have seen people playing mixture of very high and high with 8800m gtx. Keep us posted.

it's not desktop. It's his notebook. It says there, 8800m gtx. Sniper got his hands with Clevo's latest beast. Sniper how I envy you.. how's COD doing on that rig?

On WinXP ( can never bring myself to actually install Vista) + fresh Jack Sparrow version Crysis unpatched, untweaked lor..

Auto detect at 1680x1050 is all high but is a little choppy for my liking.

On 167.43 drivers.

sniper

are you underclocking your GC?
GPU Clock and Memory Clock is lower than default setting

There are some mods out there that really boost the performance. I have seen a video of a person playing @ 1080p with some very high and high settings. The graphic wasn't slowed at all. Anyway, it's not a must. As long as you enjoy ur rig, that should be fine.

I myself for once, never care about 3dmark at all.

i oso agreed v derred....actually wat u feel the performance is very important. rather than js c de 3dmark....sometimes it will wrong too...
suggested ingame playing then feel it the performance overall....

Any 3dmark score for this 8400M GS..? My sister need a lappy, so if the score satisfy enuf then i will recomend a lappy that got 8400M GS. And what the normal price if the lappy got this 8400M GS..?
