thank you very much.
then if i buy online via hp website, i can't upgrade my ram?

No you can't.
Why would you want to buy rams from them anyway? It's way more expensive. When I bought my notebook at a HP store I asked the salesperson whether they're selling rams as well. I was holding quite a few pricelists in my hand when I asked. The guy straightaway said "they sell way cheaper, better buy outside".

Hardware Q&A

CQ40-115AU only have 1 SO-DIMM slot, the max is 2GB

pls correct me if i'm wrong.

for other model support two SO-DIMM, i think best combo 1GB+2GB "since 32-bit  OS, won't able show fully 4GB"

spade, 126au using RM-72 but 126ax using RM-70

u found temp of lappy using 3200?

so is 1 or 2 slot? i saw in the spec that max is 2GB, mean 1 slot?

i found that CQ45-107AU contains all I want.(2GB 800, 320GB,bluetooth, wireless a/g/n, HD3200,that is all I want)
But the price differ much from CQ40-115AU,is 2259 from pc fair price.

any suggestion?

If you notice on HP's site many of the CQ40s are stated as having MAX 2GB memory, including 125/26/33/34AX. Contrary to their specifications, many of us here are using 4GB with no limitations. Well, except for those on x86.

is the hp shop opposite lowyat still offering free backpack?

Yes. The notebook comes with 1GB DDR2 667. If you add a 2GB DDR2 800 stick, it will run at DDR2 677 with total of 3GB RAM.

thank you very much
because the website state that max 2GB, i am so worry if it cannot run 3GB, wasting my money
i think i will take this model
any thing need to care about?
how to differentiate between a new and a refurbish notebook?
how about the battery? anything to care about that when buying a notebook

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

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 . 

spade, maybe i will take 126au from pc fair and add up to 4GB ddr2 800 at abt RM1800

shady, which OS recommend to this lappy? Windows Vista Ultimate sp2 64bit?

where can find and dl the OS? can pm me?

thanks ya...

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)

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.

Bro, this happen 1 in a million........

Just like proton cars.....we know they have a lot of minor issue......some major a bit....
There are owners never complaint that they have a bad quality car......
Yet they claim that their proton car never give them problem......
This is also 1 in a million......

I've been using CQ40-125AX for AI, Phoshop to design my work.........Games like COH, COD, Hellgate London, World of Warcraft, Crysis and RA3
so far never give me any problem from the hardware......

But, at times I have problem with Vista.......as usual....MICROSOFT WINDOWS.......need to use Ccleaner and Ncleaner to clean all the RUBBISH.......
