HP care pack is just RM199 provided that you purchase it within a limited period after you have purchased your laptop


Added on April 13, 2009, 6:39 pm
you want the cpu-z of amd models?
extended warranty, refer to the above, you may upgrade your warranty later, it may be more expensive or same cost with only 1 year extra.
confidence & reality are 2 different stories
that's more than enough for you to play dota
*
no..for the 325TU intel model

for me i dun buy any extended warranty b4..even i bought 3 compaq previously..

now stil working well..

actually after 1 year using..it is consider old n slow alrdy.. need the new wan..lolx..

wonder which software you guys used in monitoring the CPU temp.
i only manage to get Everest showing the CPU & GPU temp..

mine is AMD Turion X2 RM-74 + ATi HD3450
*
can get from cpuid.com - the HWMonitor

Incase if anyone is wondering how this laptop performs in gaming here are some of my benchmarks. All using ingame FPS measurement

My specs:

CQ-40 401AX
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Warcraft III (Smooth and fast)

Very smooth, no problems at all.

Call of Duty 4 (Stutters at resolutions above 1024x768)

With AA disabled, resolution at 1024x768, low dynamic lights, no specular map, no depth of field and no glow.
15-30fps outdoors at large map and 50fps+ indoors.

Call of Duty 5 (Stutters even at 800x600)

The single player side of COD5 torments the 401AX, even at 800x600, it only can reach around 20fps max. Its probably due to the massive lighting effects on screen. If you disable all the dynamic lights and lower the texture it will be playable around 30fps. But it will look hell ugly.

All games running at default catalyst 8.5 driver provided at HP website. If you guys have any newer drivers or modded one with MobilityModder please send me the link, because mine ain't working. Will post more games soon!

can it really support to 2302MB? can show it by screen shot..
mine wan 402ax up to 1702MB only..
