anyoone succesfully instal win xp into this lappie?

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. 

.... 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??

here is my temperature on playing need for speed undercover... the cooler pad havent get yet haha. addicted.....

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....

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.

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?

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

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!

guys need help which software can detect the temperature of the lappie?

i'm sorry but i can't help myself from replying.

UMC is NOT the most important determinant factor on whether or not you can fully utilise the 800MHz RAM, it is the memory bus. this will be only absolutely true if we're talking about K8-netburst era. right now, as every platform in the market with HT2.0-3.0 ready and intel following AMD step integrating memory controlled into the processor, that statement is outdated.

i didn't really want to argue to this extend. i just wanted to correct the statement of ..

Lol still wanted to wait summore, better don't buy at all ... Imo its already good as it is now .

Besides that , only 100Mhz extra no big deal , I rather its improvement is lesser power consumption and less heat . 100Mhz only translate into 5% higher scores in synthetic benchmark, that's all .

my temp was 100 celcius and i keep it 6 hours

cq40-115au have drop price to rm1799.

good alternative to eee pc or netbook 

i cant remember where i got the pricelist, but i digged up my orbit history and found the original link.  Cant find this pricelist elsewhere.

i just saw in THE STAR today, CQ 40-115AU going for RM1599 - i think it's the best bargain...
HP Mini 1001TU is for RM1699 plus free 160gb external hdd.

Spade, can u elaborate more on the new platform?  Would it be as cheap as what we are seeing now?

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
