is there a noticable difference if swapping 4gb of 667Mhz RAM with 4gb of 800Mhz??
im using the cq40-126ax. if i use the kingston hyperX 800Mhz 2gb RAM x 2piece , will the performance "jack-up"?? my current vista index is 4.0 using 4gb( 2 piece x 2gb) 667Mhz RAM.

QUOTE(shady @ Nov 13 2008, 05:13 PM) System will be snappier with 800mhz DDR2. Ive tried that and bechmarked them too. Vista score will stay at 4.0 because lowest is video card, not RAM. Upgrading to DDR2 800 will bring up memory score to 5.9. thanx man!!

I'd say it's not worth it. AFAIK 4.0 is like the standard score for this model. It seems everyone gets that, even with 4GB 800mhz. thanx!!

i've had my cq40-126ax for 3 weeks now. when i put it on my logitech alto cordless notebook stand, i just realised the headphone terminal gets blocked . hahaha, anyone have any ideas how can i insert headphones/speakers jack to the cq40 using this type of notebook stand??
by the way, i'm not sure 100% but when i put kingston 2x2gb hyperx ddr2 800mhz ram into the cq40, it didnt show much difference compared to 2x2gb corsair ddr2 667mhz ram.
anyone agree with me??
