Attached thumbnail(s)

tanks for the tip bro, so i gues i will just buy a 2gb 800mhz ram and use with the existing 1gb ram. i'm planning to use 64bit, so anyway i can only utelize 3gigs.

oh nice backpack u got there..are they giving it for free for 126-AX as well? my fren going for hunting one soon

about the RAM price, actually you can get more cheaper as RM76 for 2gb 800 ram at lowyat plaza..but it is not made from hynix chip

anyway, nice bargain there

actually i found out that targus made the bags for HP because its same design and same price : ))

about free gift for other models im not sure, i guess they are clearing that bag stock because he take my bags directly from the display rack.

how to remove the thin cloth covering the holes or the case?
does cooler pad help on this laptop?

what setting? it is smooth?

on my system i set it to 800x480 setting,

anti-aliasing = off
texture= bilinear

world detail; high
others low

car detail : high
others low

its smooth n playable

where is this hp shop opposite lowyat? is it at teh times square side?

Wow! That is hot! My Acer 4520 is only around 76 Degree Celsius when doing video encoding (100% CPU Utilization all the time) running non stop for more than 24 hours with that kind of 100% load.

Juz wondering....

Is there any significant gains if I change my current rams which is 3Gb 667 to 4Gb 800??....

I'm using CQ50 with RM-70 cpu....

I have to admit the cooling design for this model is poor especially for a laptop with dedicated GPU. The Turion is already hot and with Radeon GPU, the heat is max. The is no proper ventilation for air intake. Only blow out. Normal laptop cooler which blows air under the casing doesnt work well with this model because of no ventilation holes at the bottom unless you open up all the covers.

In terms of free memory under 32bit OS, no difference cos max RAM usable in 32bit mode is exactly 3GB. In terms of responsiveness, expect the system to be a bit snappier although in real life it will be hard to notice because the slowest component is HDD, not RAM.

if the laptop blow, i will find HP.

its the lowyat main entrance side .. the one got valet parking services.. u can see hp shop with metal hp logo just in front of it

Hey guys,

What is the brand of the ram u guys using?
Kingston or kingmax???
which is better actually

get a kingston with hynix chip

I do not meant amount of memory....what i meant was Speeeeedd...667 vs 800 on a Turion X2 RM-70 (Griffitn)

Im asking this because where ever AMD Turion is concern, people would say, "DDR2 800 will be better for the AMD" but why???

er, it's a common rule. normally higher clock = faster speed.

since 780G support 800mhz, its a waste if one opted for 667mhz.

IMO, that phrase you quoted weren't even legit.
