QUOTE(nothingz @ Apr 16 2009, 10:01 AM) i mean the 401/402AX comes with 512mb ATI3450, RM2000 is not cheap at all. PC Fair brochure stated that it costs RM1899 with 1gb ram. I think an extra 2gb ram does not cost RM101 Added on April 16, 2009, 10:01 amyou read the laptop cooler/table fan thread, it seems like the laptop is not any better compare with your table fan  true..buy a table fan better.. if not juz find an aircond room..yahoo..

you need skill to install XP, refer to the first few pages maybe you will find the solution
anyway, you have 4gb ram, just install vista

home premium is good enough, ultimate only got some candy stuff, but it runs 1000 threads at idle, --- home premium only 8xx
Ultimate got the most services, processes and threads, which in the long run will affect battery life coz CPU more busy at idle

thank you for the info. I bought my set at Tesco, the receipt didn't show serial number (just show the inventory #) , not sure HP will recognize it or not
I think I straightaway head to HP center in Midvalley or outside LYP there, can buy over there rite?
