Drive #1 - ST9250827AS (232 GB)

thats from my 126AX..not sure whats installed in 125AX. Hopefully the same

My battery can last for 2 hour+. Just use for normal mp3 listening and browsing internet and some photoshop. Good enough for AMD platfom i guess..but with power saver setting

but if i order online no free gifts i presume?

for what price u bought 4m challenger? did u get 160 gb hdd free with it?

How do I check temp ? Tried atitool and speedfan but no result , maybe old version .

try everest ultimate edition, can enable as window sidebar in vista

btw, i just put in 4gb (2gbX2) RAM into my lappie. It was utilized only at 3068mb in task manager but detected as 4gb in system properties, as well in everest; 4GB..

It conclude that both 125AX and 126AX only can utilize 4GB of RAM in 64bit platform as other forumers said before..btw, 400mhz made my system more snapier

yesterday i am hooked with need for speed undercover for almost 8 hours non stop. i am running the temp monitoring tools on the background. when i exit the game, the processor temp reach 99 celcius...... dunno what to do now...

Actually it applies to ALL laptops using 32-bit Windows.
On Vista 32-bit with SP1 installed it will show 4GB, however only 3.5gb can be utilised.

better go get notebook cooler.

i dont think notebook cooler pad will help much acctually, i am thinking to remove the ram place cover, and let the coolerpad fan blow inside it and open up the hdd cover.... let it blow;..

Seagate Momentus 5400.4 250GB. Battery depends on usage. I think max out at 2hrs. 3hrs is almost impossible unless u get the 56WHr 6cell or 12cell. The included one is 47Whr.

Please use the latest version of Everest or download AMD Overdrive. Link provided in first post

Max is 3068MB in 32bit. If you dont have any apps compatibility prob, I suggest u to switch to 64bit since the 1GB is wasted.

wow 8 hrs. 99C is a bit high IMHO. The max i hit is 89C. NB coolers wont work because the bottom is fully covered. I suggest u to elevate the back part so that hot air can blow out with out obstructions. Temp wont change much though.

okay, i do realize that this is a spam post.

but ... i'm a new proud owner of this sweet mama!

i should get going. many drivers to download

damn.

i have problem downloading from ftp site.

anybody has alternative link for xp drivers?

first page?

if you're naturally ignorant, i've read 1st page.

look at all the offer right now... aiyo... sakit hati!

Proud owner of CQ40!

250GB; and 4GB RAM! ;D
RM2,199.

yea...this laptop is reli hot even playing simple games like CS... mine reach max 92C...juz beware of touching the back part after playing for 6 hours or so..if its reli hot, then u noe ur temp is hitting 80+ or more...i juz hope one day the graphic card wont melt or sumtin...lol...
