now...the question is how much the performance different with vs without dedicated graphic memory

oic...but seem like with additional Rm200 is worth, u get additional 90GB HDD size, your bluetooth & the dedicated GPU 256MB

wow!! installing XP? Vista? ram size?? so excited to see your GPU performance review

Shady, XP success? or back to vista??

oh ya Vista's DX10 will produce much better image quality

CQ40 dint' come with any driver DVD?

yup, good idea change it to CQ40-125AX thread for more users to discuss about

don't ever trust the vista rating

i thought its 100% working drivers on vista.

mean can't use the wireless/webcam ATM?

is that this one? http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?modelmen...=24&l3=477&l4=0

the chipset SiS 671DX+968 ...good ah? compare with 125ax

125/125ax owners, does the hybrid crossfire enabled by HP bios?

oh yah..i saw some HD3200 on COD from youtoube..its pretty good ya

i can't recall exact model..check out the newspaper HP promotion

Rm1549

shared mem HD3200 vs dedicated 256MB HD3450
160GB HDD vs 250HDD

IMO there is no way to get such spec at Rm1549.. tempt me only

forget about cq40 Hybrid CrossFireas its IMPOSSIBLE, unless Dual GPU built in


HD3450 is about 18% - 27% better than HD3200

http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Radeon-HD-3200.9591.0.html
http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-...450.9593.0.html

if without discount..i would go for HD3450..but since its Rm550 different
