From where did you get Dual Core can't support 64- bit Vista?

Bingo. I realised this before buying this laptop. I was wondering what is the difference between C2D T6400 and Pentium Dual Core T4200. And it came out to be T4200 is a stripped down version of T6400. The FSB, Processor Frequency and Penryn core are the same, except for the L2 cache and some Intel Instruction Sets which is minimal and do not justify the price difference between these 2 processors.

HI all

after reading 80% of the post from the 1st page

it makes me feel like getting one for myself

need further advices as i am trying to justify should i get this lappy or just a normal desktop as i only need to use this lappy around ave 3 hours per day to online, do some reserch using JAVA applicants and one more question, can this lappy handle online MMORPG? looks like it should be no problems..

i might use it to play online MMORPG on and off.. hahaha.. maybe 1-2 hours per day

it fits ur requirement easily. Lite gaming and normal usage.

one more question, a noob one coz i nvr buy a lappie b4..

does this lappie come with MS office? i need to use excel applicants as well

and i worried i cant get it as it seems like selling fast

From my notebook and also i am one of the Microsoft Vista Campus launching commitee. According to the Microsoft officials it does not support. I did not belive that my duo core cannot support 64bit vista and tried installing it. And it does not support, duo core can support 64bit xp but not Vista. That is why i want to know if this so called New Dual Core can do the job.

anyone installed 2007 MS office home n student version? may i know how much is it?

may i know what's your alptop spec?

as from my point of view...the pentium dual core should be able to tun vista 64 the same as core2duo.

maybe the vista64 disk u'r using was damaged one...try another one.

lol..sure can la
because u need a clean install..urs is 32bit and u wanna install it with 64 rite?need a clean format..

izzit ok to leave the laptop plug in even though 100% charge?

is this model still on sale..??

Hey guys, should I get a Notebook or a Desktop???
My major concern about laptops are that they die fast...
Are they really that fragile and are prone to breaking down???
Will notebooks handle at least 12 hours or more a day???
Any info will help coz getting a new PC in a few months time...

Aspire 5563, Duo Core with Ati X1600. No it cant install, and i used a few disk to install. Since its an event for Vista launching, i got all the disk i need to test lol. Later i consulted the Microsoft guys and they did told me it was not possible. Maybe they have changed it now since much claimed that they can install the 64bit. So it there any user that is validate that ?

ytd went to harvey norman to check on this lappie..all unit sold out

there is one more shop selling it in Mid valley but no more 3 yrs warranty

maybe you can try COurts Mammoth as i saw the brochure they are still selling it.

ok. thanks

wish you good luck in sucessfully getting one.

I didn't see this kind of model in Sarawak =.=" Any idea? Is it a limited edition?

ehh it was marketed widely on the previous pc fair. Not a limited edition but its gonna phase out soon.

kl still got but they took off the 3 years warranty..which made me hesitated..

shall i get it at 2199 with no freebies n 1 year warranty only?
