Thought it's the AX.then do you install vista 64bit? working fine? what if i install window XP only.. how many RAM is enough? you use 667 or 800 RAM? Yes I'm using Vista x64.

Yup, the AU versions use HD3200. As stated in HP's website.

QUOTE(luotang @ Dec 5 2008, 11:26 PM) After doing research and comparing all branded notebook, I think compaq presario CQ40 is very suitable to me, in price and also specification. 1. Try calling HP directly and ask, I'm sure they are well aware of these ridiculously low prices. It could even be an official promo, minus the official announcement. I have some question to ask: 1. How can the price in pc fair much lower than in the hp website? How can they do that？ Is the notebook a totally new notebook? 2. Can I customize my specification, as what I can do when buying dell notebooks? e.g. I want to change my harddisk size etc. To me this is normal, we're reaching the end of the year and by 2009 newer models with better specs will be coming out. And when that happens it'd be harder to clear old stocks. Regarding whether the notebook is brand new or otherwise, that depends on the seller. In this case I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. 2. Not possible, fullstop. |

It has always been like that. And this 'non-customization' is not exclusive to HP Compaq.

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". |

No the bluetooth is built-in, can't ask for it. If you want you can buy a bluetooth dongle or something.
Yes you can change the ram, and it is always cheaper to buy outside. Look at the benchmark in the first page. DDR2 800MHZ x 2 sticks is better. It's not a massive leap though. I suggest you read through the whole thread. Try like 10 pages first.  |

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.

QUOTE(Vernon @ Dec 7 2008, 02:11 PM) i'm curious why a lot of ppl say 64-bit OS no go??? Yeah I was curious about that too.i'm using it now, and its just same as 32-bit OS....  driver is not a problem, u can always download from hp support page...the software?? there is WOW64 for 32-bit software to use.... Perhaps they haven't tried? Before I've actually tried using x64 OS I've heard many people saying things like 'compatibility problem', 'not stable', etc. But I made the leap anyway (XP 64 and Vista 64), and my programs and games work fine. |

QUOTE(lowhenghao @ Dec 9 2008, 11:43 AM) Whats the eSata for anyway? I'll just answer this part.In layman's terms, eSata is the fastest interface for external hdds (mostly). Think of it as a faster version of usb or firewire. You can actually edit a HD video directly from an eSata hdd. For more info, google. |

Hey spade, you should try your luck and get those rams exchanged. I think it shouldn't be a problem, as long as you have the receipt.

A bad disc perhaps? Which version are you using, and where did you get it from?
