Thanks Bro...

Finally found my LYN userid

Things are great... it's fast and it's stable... still stuck at 5.9 for memory running on 800MHZ -> perhaps should have gotten the Kingston Hyper Twin Series for faster performance...

Using Vista 32 bit for now. Will be installing XP Pro + Linux for triple boot.

Whether it was miscalculated for the price paid for the laptop or not - it's still a mystery as no one called...

CQ40 125AX + 4GB 800MHZ Ram + Freebies at RM2050

Added on October 11, 2008, 1:13 pmWhile ReadyBoost will work with other devices – such as SD Card, CompactFlash, etc. – here are the baseline requirements the regarding what ReadyBoost will work with:

The USB Key must be at least USB 2.0
The device must be able to do 3.5 MB/s for 4 KB random reads uniformly across the entire device and 2.5 MB/s for 512 KB random writes uniformly across the device.
The USB Key has to have at least 64mb of free space

anyone? any ideas? since we have a reader built-in to the system.

Dear All,

I bought it at MYPC, most likely it's a miscalculation of price as the price I was told was RM2250 but somehow during the payment... it was only RM2050... Don't think it'll be that cheap for now... So guys, don't expect to get RM2050. I've been dealing with the shop for a long long long many years... I'm still waiting for a phone call from the guys at the shop to tell me that it's miscalculated... Good friends with them there...

Anyways, they don't keep stock. They only order when you want it. I'm not sure whether they'll order for just anyone. It took me around 4 days to get the laptop as there was some stock issues with the supplier.

All the best.

Welcome to the CLUB!!!

I think I need to get a notebook cooler... Any good recommendations?

Cooler -> really need lol cause I'm using as a desktop replacement.

HDMI drivers -> Lordskarn please help...

58.2GB... not sure cause I did not get any as I've got a blank HDD fully formatted with VISTA as my friend at MYPC wanted to test out the speed of the lappy.

The brands found working -> for SD card -> Sandisk Extreme 3 (Box says 30MB/s)

Memory Stick -> Those expensive ones will usually work. The one that came with the Notebook by Pendrive works fine... It's really fast. KingMax super stick works fine too

ReadyBoost page on the properties page says it needs around 2GB for optimal performance. I'm thinking of getting 8GB either SD or the KingMax super stick which is really thin in size.

Anyone using Linux for this lappy?

Yupe Sandisk Expensive but worth it as it will be stuck in the card reader without causing any issues when you bring your laptop around... i'm fully ultilizing the USB ports... lol

SD should generate much lesser heat as SD was designed to use in small devices.

CD/DVD Rom -> mechanically spinning by the motor - Confirm hot. But even so, your ROM should automatically power down when not being accessed.

Any machine running on VISTA should be able to run ReadyBoost as long as your USB memory stick or Memory Cards are up to PAR

4GB Sandisk Extreme 3 selling for RM150++

Well, not everyone wants Windows

But currently running retail version of Vista Ultimate on my system...

Going to run Linux soon... shall see if Linux is able to take full advantage of the AMD's 64bit instruction set hehe...
