On the down side, it will eat a little more juice from you battery i suppose.

hi how is the quality of the speakers tat come with this laptop?

laptop speakers will always be laptop speakers...these come with altec lansing speakers...good enough to watch movies in a quiet room

Ohh damn, this lappy never disappoint me : )

Tested COD5 : World At War

System setting:


Screenshots :




My Comment:
Even though the setting is very low, but the screen is only 14.1 inch, so the image is quite sharp and almost no lag at all. Quite good for below Rm 2100 lappy.

p/s. to shady : maybe we should make a list of latest playable game for this lappy at first page lol

Support 800mhz ram and runs at 800mhz

Or

Support 800mhz ram but runs at 667,mhz oso?

it is like having a 865 chipset which supports DDR 400 but you Proc is only a 2.4Ghz running at 533mhz and not maximisng DDR400 because it runs at below speed???.....

I noticed that there is a latest ATI Catalyst 8.11 graphic driver. Has anyone tried it? Any differences compared to the one pre-installed in CQ40-126AX?

Performance wise, wont be much boost. Maybe 5%. There are some bug fixes which are useful if you play latest games. Catalyst 8.12 will include Stream but that supports HD 4xxx series for video encoding. It is advisable to install the latest driver. You need to use driverheaven.net Mobility Modder though.

Yeah , you'll have to use Mobility Modder to modify it , the stock drivers that came along with COMPAQ is old. Better get the latest tone if you're up to gaming !

Guys, Where i can still get the the 160GB external HDD promotion?

Anywhere in Penang or KL?

PLease please.. i am quite interested on this unit.!!

U can get it from Harvey norman (they still doing the promotion)
I just bought one from them last week.
Service is quite ok. I'm facing some speaker problems with the laptop and they change
a new one for me.

Its up to the processor actually. AMD use UMC remember?

read up 780G spec, it says it support 800Mhz.

re-arrange the example sentence. it doesn't make any sense .. and AMD ditched that old FSB crap long ago.

i'm sorry but i can't figure out the connection between AMD and UMC producing a more fast-memory-friendly processor. care to elaborate?

UMC = Unified Memory Controller (of some call it Integrated Memory Controller). Its embedded in the processor's die.

Penang Queensbay??

ah, that thing. different abbreviation, no wonder i haven't heard of it.

almost all of the newer intel processor able to fully utilized DDR2 800mhz thanks to their higher FSB, so UMC factor doesn't fit in (unless you're talking about Pentium D).

RM-70 support HT2.0 so..

667mhz will run at 667mhz
800mhz will run at 800mhz
1066mhz will only run at 1000mhz

So u mean if i stuck a brand new 800mhz ram into my lappie the proc will run at 800mhz bus speed or whatever term AMD uses?????

Gee thanks...maybe drop by lyp tomorow and get me a twin packs of 800mhz...

yup.

it is guaranteed to run at 800Mhz. noticeable change in real-life experience, not guaranteed.

Its like overclocking to run 133mhz more...only this time doesnt needs any sort of overclocking...

Bro, Pentium D never had UMC. Only Nehalem and its derivatives will have it. I really think you need to do some serious reading.

you seriously need to re-read my post.

i said ..

almost all of the newer intel processor [core 2 duo, dual core, quad core] able to fully utilized DDR2 800mhz thanks to their higher FSB [starting from 800mhz] , so UMC factor doesn't fit in [UMC gain an upper hand only when K8 vs Netburst] (unless you're talking about Pentium D[which suck. i add this line so that no fag come in and said "Pentium D also quite new what!"]).

eekk.. duh!
