ma bad

anyway, you could try Vista driver and then force install by pointing driver setup to C:\swsetup\sp38688 folder

or you could try launch button driver for older model .. someone reported it as a not-phailed

em, i don't have that scratching sound. exclusive feature? but i do experience engine-like sound when i cold boot

er..that vista restore made using what?i dont think there's software out there able to restore image file size larger than its destination

if you're willing to spend a little time and sweat on installing XP, this lappie should be a good choice (among this price bracket) .. just don't come in here later and whine like a real n00b about CQ40 + XP

there's no incompatibility issues between newer PS and a lot of other program, i don't see why you wanted to avoid Vista.

i, myself enabled all eye-candy (spell : aero) and did not suffer from any lag what-so-ever while moderate multitasking.

if you're a techie yourself, it wouldn't take too much effort to install XP. just slipstreaming and collecting a couple of scattered driver.

i've upgraded to 2GB and happy with it. i even allocated 500MB for ramdisk.

^ read a couple of earlier post. same question asked.

IMO about CS3, photoshop wouldn't be a problem (i've tested trial version of it myself) tho i'm not sure about after effect hunger for better processor.

you're 15. still young but already failing in internet and slowly becoming a loser.

i can't see why people still hover around this small branding issue. by the word convince, did you currently believe AMD have the tendency to burst in flame?


invest in 2x2 GB and allocate 1GB for Photoshop cache/idontrememberthecorrectterm using Ramdisk. a win me say.

1 and a half hours. reduce it more if you took models with dedicated GPU.

default battery is 6 cells. 12 cell should be available somewhere.

go google and type CQ45 review.


3450 p4wns 9200 big time!

i'm sorry, but IMO, there aren't.

go download at any CC. you'll finish within hour.

you mean, illegally ?

anyway, here's FurMark for my HD3450 :



IINM, 9200M GS maxed out at 800

i'm using Gavotte RAMDisk 1.0.4096.5 .. really sorry, you need to google for this. the fella who designed this doesn't even have proper website so i can't recall.


p4wn aren't we? na, we're cool.


do bother reading first post. it's annoying to have someone crying for the same question over and over, and over.

CUDA aren't that efficient as it's proclaimed to be .. the fact that OpenGL favors Nvidia since the dawn of time, this is p4wning. and don't say it doesn't matter because someone asked me to do the FurMark. not a personal initiation


why would you want to suggest someone to get something illegally just because someone else (me) come out with better and free idea than yours?

weird. 125ax detected it nicely and i did no alteration to Everest setting either.

possible culprit, Vista Home

note : Everest 4.60.15 Trial

i'm using CM infinite. coarse test, i'd say it does help reducing heat around 3-5c

133ax comes with freeDOS while the later comes with Vista Home basic.

er, wha~?

theorically, HD3450 should be better

don't take salesmen crap too seriously. most of the time, they're bunch of clueless prick. i asked one of them about eee-pc and he showed me i-pod

don't expect to play recent game with AA enable with this baby. even 2X, you'll suffer massive Fps drop.
