currently switch to window ultimate 64 bit, y the driver seems so much missing? swt...
how is it?

How bout the noise? Is it the same?

Which driver? Can you list them out?

Btw, for those using 4GB RAM and Vista 32bit can you report the amount of RAM usable? eg 3.25GB or 3.5GB

LEFT bluetooth peripheral devices..
where is it?

Did you install HP BT Manager?

ya..argh..

noise level decrease. very quite in fact. i used it in library just now and feels that the lappy is very quiet. almost no noise at all.

Added on October 8, 2008, 7:19 pmAs far as i know, vista 32 bit sp1 will show until 4GB. but the 'usable' amount of ram by the windows itself is less than that..

thats mean 3GB ram for this model is the best suit?

You are correct. The usable amount the most will be 3.75GB max depending on hardware configuration.


I have read somewhere that you need memory stick of same capacity for dual channel. So using 3GB will become single channel. Btw, I ordered a DDR2 800 2GB. I will test whether 3GB supports dual channel or not.

want to report here that i played Assassins Creed with custom medium-high setting and Juiced 2 HIN with medium setting. both games are completely playable..

What resolution u r using? I tried FIFA 09 at highest resolution and medium settings. Playable but a bit laggy. I think need to lower down settings and resolution. I prefer to play games at native LCD resolution though.

hmmm.... wonder can we change the processor and the graphic card ourselves later?

CPU is possible but the fastest u can upgrade is to Turion Ultra series. I dont think its worth it because the generation is already slow and you wont get more than 20% speed boost even by getting the fastest Turion Ultra.

Graphic is soldered on so its not possible.

Finally got myself with this baby..

My friend just got the laptop today.. from lowyat also.. (He'll be joining us here soon - he forgot his LYN password!)

And he got a free gift, looks like it's from HP/AMD directly!!

I wonder why I didnt get one The shop say normally other lowyat shops would take the free gift for themselves.. thats not nice lah..

Anyway, I'll attach the picture of the gifts HP/AMD gave :

Basically it's a 4GB pendrive (Pendrive brand, 5 years warranty), Multimedia headset and mic, plus 1 year license for AHNlab V3 antivirus.
He also got the standard HP/Compaq nylon bag, and he added 4GB DDR800 RAM into the laptop. So far the Windows Experience Index is showing score 5.9 for his RAM (my DDR 667 4GB is showing 5.6 only!)

Nice

Btw, it seems the chipset runs optimally with DDR2 800.

the headphone is avf headphone.

eh, how come a lot of seller stated that this model max is 2Gb ram??

Max is 4GB. HP published it wrongly. The optimum speed is DDR2 800 but HP installed only DDR2 677. Maybe want to clear stock.

Btw, I ordered two 2GB DDR2 800 sticks. Waiting for it to reach so that can test it out. Now in dilemma whether to switch to 64 bit cos some of my hardware is not compatible with 64bit.

of course change to 64-bit la.
i saw the malaysia compaq homepage can't find Compaq Presario CQ40-125AX, just the v series only, why?

and from hong kong compaq, http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/hk/en/ho/WF...57-3329742.html
CQ40 using better cpu, with 2mb cache one.

i played FIFA 09 at 800x600 with highest settig. everything seems fine. i tried highest resolution and as you said, it's a bit laggy..
