I'm also thinking of getting one CQ40-126AX. I wonder this lappie will have a sound card issue if i'm using win xp. My previous lappie (compaq presario f731au) have a sound card issue (cannot control the volumn and cannot use mic). Is this modal also facing the same issue if using win XP?

I just bought Compaq Presario CQ40-126AX after reading all the post and compare to Acer aspire 4530. The shop only free me a WD external harddisc (160Gb. Some more, need to wait for 2 weeks. Hope I can get it faster. And thank for all the information share.

QUOTE(Spade @ Nov 17 2008, 08:57 AM) Can anyone confirm that the freegift of external drive will take 2 weeks to be delivered? I just don't want this shop CON people. You know, shop at LowYat....This things happened before.  .... But it included that item into the recipe. If they con me, I just go report police. Btw, May I know the same free gift (WD 160GB external harddisc) will give to modal CQ40-125AX or not??

Oh.....they cheat away my pendrive and headset. I buy it at harvey norman....but at least i can get the external harddisc compare. I call a several shop at lowyat, they told me there is no more offer. After reading all the threat, it's seem that adding ram is a must. Any one use dual boot system?? I thinking of install the win xp as well to play game ler.....is this advisable?

Hi, guys Base on the information given by this thread, the window vista home premium only can utilise maximum 3 Gb ram. And the dual channel function is still working if we use 1GB ram + 2GB ram. Is this true? or the dual channel only function at 2GB ram + 2GB ram?

QUOTE(shady @ Feb 16 2009, 05:37 PM) I'm pretty sure mine maxed out at 500mhz. I used Everest and GPU-Z to check the clock speed. Havent check lately though. Btw, under Everest GPU section, you can see all the clock speeds for Powerplay. I will check again because now I'm using Cat 9.1 and Windows 7. 1) HP drivers are not updated regulary. With Mobility Modder you can use latest driver. Newer drivers would be always better. 2) Never faced that problem. Any error msg? No error msg pop up....so odd. can send back service centre???

QUOTE(gyver @ Feb 17 2009, 02:15 PM) Answering #2. Are you new to Windows Vista? You need to have administrator rights to install programs that access registry or system files and folders. This is the user access control (UAC) file protection. You can do this by right clicking and run as administrator since login using admin accounts not enough. Thank. I will try it out tonight.
