No , the LED is still blinking , though every other elseis working fine .

If you put in 4GB and use 32bit Windows you can only use 3GB out of the 4GB.

Max is 4GB. Already stated in lots of post before. To check whether new or refurbished, you can check the serial no at HP website or call HP.

I dont think AMD can run dual channel with different sticks of RAM.

Yeah. Thats what I thought.

No idea with this ? Both of the caps and scroll lock blinking in a fashion of 4 blinks , pause 1 seconds and repeat .

Think its time to bring to service center .

i am planning only for 1GB+2GB that is 3GB
that mean i will get a total of 3GB?

one more thing
the harddisk for CQ40-115AU is 160GB　5400rpm?
can i change it to 7200rpm?

Added on December 6, 2008, 10:44 pmI think its a good choice but hearing issues with their brand new notebook, especially the one that do not come with Windows (coz you can't give it a try on the spot) makes me think twice. I don't want to keep sending it back to service centre over and over again.

that mean u wan buy with windows version?

i think it depends on ur luck one, u test on the spot doesnt mean that it wont be any defect after u bring it back home...especially buy in pc fair...


then can we put deposit 1st in pc fair to get pc fair price and then take it from them after pc fair ? (becoz no nid carry so much cash)

Guys need your expertise here, could u help me out on this choosing 3 models interms of

1. Heat(which 1 more cooler)
2. Battery Life (which 1 better last longer)
3. Gaming ( 9200M GS or HD3450 )
4. Performance (which processor is faster)

CQ45-127TX
-P8400 2.0Ghz
-Nvidia GF 9200M GS 256mb

CQ40 -133AX
-RM72 2.1Ghz
-ATI HD3450 256mb

CQ40-125AX
-RM70 2.0Ghz 256mb
-ATI HD3450

Appreciate for pointing out the point

i think should be 127TX
correct me if i m wrong

Depend on shop. Some can (based on my own experience e few years back). For got the shop's name though.

emm.... u mean overall everything out beat the AMD model?

anyone have 133AX windown XP drivers and Bios file?
share share

i think u can use same driver as 125/125AX

127TX is a lot more expensive than 133AX and 125AX. If you have a tight budget and you want a good gaming laptop, 125AX and 133AX are good choies, but do take note of the heat and also the battery life. AMD overall has a poorer battery life and hotter than Intel processor. That Penryn should be 25W only, if I am not mistaken. So basically 127TX is the best pick but of course the price are about the same. For 9200M GS, i think the performance is about on par with HD3450, if not, better. So, it all depends on your budget... I am getting a 125AX though.. 100Mhz extra and 70gb more for hdd for an extra RM 100 doesn't really attract me...

becoz that 127tx in diff standard mah~~~

of coz it is better...u should compare among the same lvl lappy.

Added on December 7, 2008, 12:32 ami will getting myself 126au (RM-72 also) since i nid to pay more RM300 more for 133ax to get 3450 (nearly same performance if normal compare to 3200) and 70GB more only....better use it to upgrade my RAM!

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

hey breakthru your problem sounds weird. Did it suddenly become like that?

the price is ok for me since i have the budget...my concern is that some review from other website was saying Nvidia gfx 8k & 9k series r having defects.... and the performance on ATI HD3450 is better than Nvidia 9200MGS and this 9200 is sucking alot of battery life which will not last long . i'm not sure whether all this news is true or not..... hope u all here can advice me on this

Yeah , it was fine this afternoon. Now, I plugged in power adapter and it wont even charge unless I put it to sleep. I kept getting checksum error as well omg.

hmm. still deciding which cq40 to go for. going to buy at klcc pcfair most probably.

is it better to get one with pre-installed OS, or get the freedos version (are drivers readily available for xp and vista?)

since 126au uses rm-72 and extra 70gb HDD for rm1649, should it be the best value for money model now? (additional rm100 from 115)
