QUOTE(Andy0625 @ Oct 18 2009, 01:39 PM) My Mcafee Security Center shows that expiration s on 2010/1/13 but Mcafee send me an email regaring it will expire in a week time. Which one I should follow ? I really couldn't wait to ditch Mcafee and go for other Internet suite. You can just ignore both and go ahead and uninstall McAfee. I detest it myself. There are so many better free or paid solutions out there. Along the free lines, I'd recommend either Avast or Microsoft Security Essentials for good overall performance and AVG for something more lightweight but not as effective as the previous two. For paid versions go for Norton Anti Virus 2010. |

Quite cheap and reliable as I read.  You mean NIS? I'm not sure about that, but Norton's Anti Virus 2010 version is pretty lean and mean, according to reviews anyway. |

QUOTE(WildChai @ Oct 21 2009, 05:13 PM) I have changed my thermal paste for both my processor and GPU twice...last one was 2 weeks ago. You did that on your Inspiron 15? |

QUOTE(gliew_87 @ Nov 5 2009, 08:01 PM) anyone can teach me in oc for our 1520? bout fifa10 , i feel laggy abit and spike sometimes. therefore i need oc for my processor and grahic. anyone can teach me safe oc? Are you sure you are willing to risk an OC in the confined space of a mainstream laptop? The extra heat produced will be a real killer. |

QUOTE(alexnvidia @ Nov 7 2009, 11:07 PM) heat would be the last thing i would worry about in a 1520 system, provided u do a proper regular system clean up (like the one shown in the first thread), and use a good thermal paste. over here, most of the time, my system is running without the fan on, it's that cool! even if it revs up, it would only hover around 2300RPM for just a minute or two, and it stops again. dead silent. hard drive noise is way louder. only during intense gaming would the fan accelerate to rougly 3000RPM. Have you actually tried OCing the 1520 before? Would be interested to see the load temps of the notorious 8600GT when it is OCed to boot. EDIT: Just read your siggy. Now I'm even more interested to know the results of a stress test on the 8600GT.  This post has been edited by Loki[D.d.G]: Nov 8 2009, 04:27 AM |

QUOTE(alexnvidia @ Nov 10 2009, 11:24 PM) i've tried gta4 before, didnt quite like it because 1520 clearly cant handle this game. 8600M GT with a dual core is just not powerful enough to run. now waiting for COD 6, or modern warfare 2. went on sale mignight last night in the UK!  GTA 4 takes quite a beast of a system to run. It is particularly fond of quad core processors. |
