Nope, cos mine is Free DOS version. Btw, I'm thinking of changing this thread to CQ40 discussion thread. What do you guys think?

That is consumer infrared. I dont think CQ45 comes with remote. The CQ4,5 series come with HDMI. Those with ATI chipset can output both video and audio thru HDMI cable. Damn cunn. I connected my lappy to LCD and watch HD movies. Video and sound with one cable.

For games, I think you need a notebook at least with GF 8600/9500 or HD 36xx series.

I just like to know can CQ40-125AX support DDR2 800mhz 4gb (2x 2gb)?


Cause just now I went to a dealer and tested with DDR2 667mhz 4gb (2x 2gb),
can be detect by the bios.

Not sure it can be use on actual vista.


I am very interested to get 1 but worry that can't support 4gb ram (DDR2 800mhz).

This morning, I tried calling the customer service, (sounds like mat salleh)
he claim CQ40-125AX can support 4gb.

But, later I wanted to buy online.
I check with the sales rep from HP.
She said cannot......... cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

Now, i really confused................ vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif

Anyone, please help to clarify this matter.


Thank you

Yes, it can support 2GB modules and speed up to 800mhz. In fact the AMD 780G chipset runs best with 800mhz. So you can use 4GB DDR2 800 without any problems. CQ40's service manual confirms this. Furthermore, Vista x64 drivers are available so you can utilize the 4gb RAM.
dont trust the sales rep. u can get the service manual from this models support page from the first post.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Do you meant that I must install Vista 64bit than only can use the 4gb DDR800 to the fullest potential?

What happen if I use 32bit Vista? or XP?


Thank you

Yup, to fully utilize 4GB u must use 64bit OS. if u use 32 bit. U might see 3.5 or 3.25GB or even less.

i dun think 3200 is 32bit.. will be too slow for data transfer. either 64 or 128 bit. if the 780G chipset runs on 128bit, then should be 128bit but using shared memory instead of dedicated. 3450 runs on 64bit but dedicated 256MB video RAM.
