shared mem HD3200 vs dedicated 256MB HD3450

hi, i have noob question here:

can i mix the ddr2 677 and ddr2 800 ram in this notebook? and how to insert the ram?

according to my experience, it still will show the total amount of RAM

but the thing is the system will only use up to 667. so its a waste

I believe it will take the price of the current PUMA. Its a successor to PUMA anyway.

Here is the link:

Did you install the latest ATI graphics drivers. I suggest u to download latest Catalyst from ATI website, mod using driverheaven's Mobility Modder so that you will enjoy the best experience. Also, make you you install the game correctly.

Yes you can mix but it will run at 667. Anyway later you can remove the 667 stick and replace with 800. there is only one way to insert the RAM, look at the notch and google on how to install SO-DIMM.

my cq40-125ax while after playing CoH aboout half hour,cpu max temp. 89. record with cpuid Hmonitor.
have cooling pad bottom. but my gpu rise to 95. verry bad

CoH is what game?

latest ATI Graphic Driver??which one?im using the driver u listed at the 1st page..i've checked on the ATI website and found the latest catalyst is 8.11..is it?

tell me more about the Mobility modder plez..

wow... today see newspaper and found that cq40-115au sell only 1549 in pc fair!

but i now have some question, and hopes pros can help me.

1. Any diff between ATI3200 and 3450? Is the diff very big if i only normal usage with some mid range gaming like dota?

2. Since ATI3200 is an integrated card, will it produce less heat compare to dedicated ATI3450?

3. Wat is shared gpu, it shared my RAM? If i putting 4GB on both model (shared and dedicated gpu), will it diff become less?

4. the design between this two model is it the same (air flow)?

5. How much RAM can it support max? Is it 4GB?


Haiz...the price is so attactive... 1549 + 4GB 800mhz RAM (160) = 1709 only

Agree. The price is so attractive for anyone who really need the notebook urgently. Otherwise better wait.

That is very bad.. What is the room temp there? Even my room temp is 10 to 20C here I can hit 80+

Company Of Heroes

just google for 'Mobility Modder' or go to driverheaven.net and get more info there. Very easy to use.

1. Its actually the same core with same stream processors. Only 3450 supports DX10.1 but that doesnt matter. 3200 runs at slower clock speed(if im not mistaken) and uses shared memory. 3450 uses dedicated memory. Performance wise, both wont be able to offer good performance for latest games but 3450 is about 10% faster.

2. Yes, since its intergrated in northbridge you dont have extra video chip that produce heat and draws more power.

3. Core is intergrated in northbridge and uses system RAM for graphics. The amount of shared RAM will automatically change depends on need. If Im not mistaken can share up to 1.5GB for graphics depending on RAM config. If you put 4GB and use 32bit OS you can only utilize 3GB.

4. Should be the same since its CQ40. I think the whole CQ40 shares the same case, only different components.

5. 4GB. 2 sticks of 2GB DDR2 800.

Actually from what I know, in normal implementation both of them will have 256MB sideband (or sideport) sort of dedicated memory since both of them will have chipset with integrated 3200 in it. The good thing about version of notebook who come with 3450 is that is can switch between integrated (3200) and dedicated (3450) chip or even combine both depend on the needs.

That is AMD's Hybrid graphics technology. Sadly HP didnt implement this even though the hardware supports it.

Is that means for the notebook that come with 3450, HP will disable its integrated 3200? Because as far as I know, both of the models (with or without 3450) still using 256MB sideband (or sideport) sort of dedicated memory which supposed to feed the integrated 3200. Any info sharing would be greatly appreciated.

Why still need to wait? Can get better price after PC Fair or new model coming out soon?

What i meant is if you really need a notebook in these few months, this is the best deal. Otherwise if you can wait for say around 6 month, better wait for a new and better platform. We don't want our newly bought notebook become obsolete as soon as the new platform come out won't we? Unless we really have to get a notebook in these few month.
