I saw plenty at lowyat plaza yesterday, just aim at smaller shop.

And for the RAM, I got it separately at one of the 4th floor shop (on the way to the All IT hypermart, on the left shop) for RM76 for each 2gb Kingston 400mHz ddrII800

btw, the cpu temperature a bit hot, around 70-71C on idle

Well, that's wat the Retail store mentioned to me. Will check it out later with them/ HP.

I got it from the HP outlet outside Lowyat. Just opposite.
Seems to have better deal there. The one with 160GB was only 1700++

Mine, the 250GB one, comes with either free 3GB RAM or HP backpack, but i added another 1GB.

i've had my cq40-126ax for 3 weeks now. when i put it on my logitech alto cordless notebook stand, i just realised the headphone terminal gets blocked . hahaha, anyone have any ideas how can i insert headphones/speakers jack to the cq40 using this type of notebook stand??

by the way, i'm not sure 100% but when i put kingston 2x2gb hyperx ddr2 800mhz ram into the cq40, it didnt show much difference compared to 2x2gb corsair ddr2 667mhz ram.

anyone agree with me??

I just get a 126ax. Very please with the performance .
Currently i'm using the driver from HP website.
Maybe I know the lates driver u guys using for graphic card??

Try using extension plug or cable? system will be snappier with 800mhz. I have benchmarked before and latency drop around 10ns. In real world hardly noticable though.

From what I asked is they give you 10days from day of purchase for decision .

sounds like extreme cooling. u can remove the thin cloth covering the holes instead of the whole cover.

let me get one the COOLERMASTER NOTEPAD INFINITE + with some casing removal...

Here's a few more:

Nice. Mind posting the URL for those Compaq wallpapers?

I stole them from my friend's CQ45-128TX.
Came pre-installed with Vista Premium.

so u opt for free 3gb ram, may i ask what kind of ram they give 677mhz or 800mhz.. i might buy this lappy tomorrow : ))

even they give u 800mhz RAM, the bundled stick is 667mhz so system will run at 667. u can request for 2GB DDR2 800 stick, remove the bundled 1GB DDR2 667 stick and then add another 2GB ddr2 800 if you want dual channel.

what is the advantage of having dual channel? does it make a lot of difference in performance?
