F8vr review
The ExpressGate problem had solve by uninstall the AVG (use Avast now)
But now still not understand, how the ExpressGate save more battery than windows mode. because i had use near 1 hour using expressgate surfing, and the damm hot air come out from air vent. so i go in windows mode and use Everest to read the temp, the CPU temp near 56c, core1 and core2 49c
After awhile i surfing net with Firefox in window vista, the temp go back to normal (CPU 39c, core1 and core2 32c)
Wonder y high processing speed = temp high is much save battery compare to windows mode.
Like what i mentioned earlier, it's because of software conflicted with it.

Anyone has the same problem like me?
The ExpressGate not functional well. when i press the ExpressGate button when Off mode, it run until colorful Asus logo, then prompt " the ExpreeGate is not well installed or not installed......
uninstall it, restart my lappy, then install back. then solve "temporary"
after afew time i use the ExpressGate, this problem come back again...
The EGate quite useful for me because i just surf net + MSN at the night time.....
After you reinstall the express gate software, it solved the issue temporary then the same problem come back again ?
Em, from my point of view, i would say some software in your laptop conflicted with this software.
Well, it might be some antivirus program as my previous customer encountered the same problem with you.
Em, can't answer your quest, will hand it to the pros.

I just bought the X59SR 3 weeks ago. Its not too bad..but sometimes programs stop working etc..and the loading of things can be slow. thats the only problem.
I see ur always recommending this model but..if i compare it too the F8VR the Ram performance is 5.9! compared to X59's 4.6 although both 4gb. The processor is one thing BUT u forgot to mention the the X59 runs NOT with Intel chipset But Sis. Thats a very big downfall of it. so performance is affected. Thats why it has Core2duo sticker and not Centrino2 becoz its not intel specs.
Thats the reason why the price is attractive becoz of the Sis chipset, and lack of additional things Compared to M51. Not to mention a rare model.

Well,
Yes, you can get a very good laptop by owning a M51vr, but the thing is about the price itself and the spec that comes with it.
The difference in terms of price btw X59SR and M51vr is around half thousand.
But you are getting way better spec in terms of graphic wise.
The problems which you encountered such as " Window is stopping from working .. "
all this is Windoow Vista problems, nothing to do with your laptop
I never heard of Core2Duo sticker laptop are using SIS chipset coz as far as i am concern,
the reason why a laptop cannot use Centrino sticker, it is because some of the chipset inside,
for instance, Wireless chipset were not Intel.
Mobo chipset will be definitely Intel.
That's why you can find that laptop with Centrino sticker is way expensive than Core2Duo sticker.
