HD 3450 installed 3200 driver, then the direct X 10 or 10.1?
HD 3450 suppose is direct X 10.1...whereas HD 3200 is direct X 10 only.

I think all HD3xxx series are DX10.1.

Btw mine is 10.1(confirmed in Everest)

I'm planning to get 1 CQ40-125AX....upgrade to DDR2 800mhz 4GB ram..........but need vista 64bit.......


So, how's the performance?

I'm quite worry about the heat issue........what's the temp?



BTW, HD3200 is only DirectX 10....but uses less power.
And, HD3450 is DirectX 10.1.....plus 256mb RAM on board.

Please feed back of your experience with your new CQ40.......

this model sungai petani where can get? and how much?
upgrade to 4GB 800Hz RAM need to add how much?
is it advisable to upgrade to 3 years warranty?

CQ20's 45nm CPU should be much cooler than AMD. Btw, mine idling at 50-60C. On load it gets up to 70C

it comes with one 1GB 667mhz RAM. If u wana get 4GB, u need to get two 2GB sticks which will cost u RM2xx. If u plan to use your laptop for more than a year, better upgrade.

errrr is this the so-called "amd puma"?

hi, do u use cooler? if use cooler, will it be better?

ｙｅｓ　ｉ　ｐｌａｎ　ｔｏ　ｕｓｅ　ｉｔ　ｆｏｒ　ｑｕｉｔｅ　ａ　ｌｏｎｇ　ｔｉｍｅ．．．
ｗｉｎ　３２ｂｉｔ　ｃａｎ　ｄｅｔｅｃｔ　４ＧＢ？

i also wondering, is this Puma? even though its RM, but its not TURION64 X2 ULTRA

anyway, the back panel is very similar to v3000 series. exact HDD, RAM, proc, wifi card position.... i wonder did they ever took into account the heating problems v300 amd users faced b4 rolling out this model...

Ive tried using a cheap RM10 notebook cooler. Not much difference in temp but a bit cooler. The best cooling is air cond room. Suck in cool air and blow out hot air


vista 32bit can detect 4GB but cant utilize all. maybe around 3GB.

Maybe a part of PUMA. PUMA platform requires an AMD CPU, 780 series chipset and any ATI graphics adapter. Its flexible. I have to admit this laptop is kinda hot Keep blowing out hot air.

SP i dunno lah, normal price mostly is rm2099.
Yup, add around rm200 to get 3 years warranty is very worth, but the bateri only for 1 years.
Ram price u can check the lowyat price list.
