questions for asus c90s experts !

that's just ( Great ) review .... but i wanted to ask you is there big
diffrence between
1 - 8600m gt 512 mb gddr2 ( 400 mhz )
2 - 8600m gt 256 mb gddr3 ( 700 mhz )
3 - 7700 ? 256 mb ? ( ?? )
i know the second one is best one HOW is the differnce in ( movies , photo shop ) maybe little movie maker with little gaming - 2- is better by X %


CPU > 1.8 @ 800 fsb VS 2.4 @ 1066 (( BATTERY life , HEAT and general performance (serfing websites , playing music , word )) how many minutes is between 1.8 vs 2.4 ... battary better by X % performance better by X %

system will be supported with 2 GB of RAM @ 800 MHZ if THE C90 accepts (800 mhz)
other thing provide from ur exprience which HDD is the best FROM the side of (( build quilty )) not fast , why ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------

i have 120 gb(( WD )) very fast ultra-ATA from about 2 yrs !! freezes my computer every 20 min + deleting my movies , images + bad sectors ..... NOT only me, my relative also had 80 gb WD also died !!

i have IBM 20 GB hdd on old P3 laptop from 7 years ... it runs 20 hour's a day .. shaking .... still works ( Great with little hot) without any pro ! so what's ur adivces ?

IBM , SEGATE , SMASUNG , SIEMENS (GERMAN ) ....etc1

maybe ken or any expert could asnwer me .....
neno

 

2 is better by about 15-20 perecnt but for photshop u wont see the difference. for gaming u will.there will be very little difference in battery time maybe 10 minutes as the cpu downclocks it self to safe power. the system cant use 800mhz ram so it will downclock it to 667 mhz. as for the hard drive i would say ibm and seagate are the best

 

thanks a lot sly97531 for replying .... in cpu - general prformance - ( surfing web , play music , office - word - powerpoint ) how much diffrnce between :

1.8 VS - 2.4 OR 2.6 ( more performance = more power = more heat = less battary = does it worth it ?? )

 

I would probably go with the 512MB as mentioned above that the 256MB primarily would improve gaming, plus you can get it for about $120 which is half the price of the 256Mb(if you can even find it in stock).

Unless you think that the added 15% performance is worth twice the price then you could go that route. depends on what your needs and resources are

awesome when i was custimizing it was 199 $ and the gddr3 was 249 $
was only 50 $ between them ... Now 130 $ ....

i think that only bekoz 8800m is going to be realsed ... now i advise c90 to go with 512 until 8800m gs - gtx is realsed ( if they avoid in 8800 heat / power ) problems if they can't ... it's not usefull to use it in notebook ... buy it as desktop much better !

 

i don't think 20 - 30 % worth 130 $

 

I feel the same way but its the difference between playable and unplayable in CoD4 @ 1680x1050 with Shadows and Specular on.

 

I would have gotten the 512mb card untill just last week when the new drivers came out that finally work with the 256mb card. Now since I know there can be new drivers that work with the 256mb card that 30% boost in performance is well worth it. Its usually only 50-75$ more for that card, and since your buying into a high performance notebook in the first place, why shoot yourself in the foot by not getting the stronger gpu when the gpu is already the weakest part in a laptop to begin with??

 

sorry , but i think u are wrong
ddr2 = 120 $ while 8600m gt gddr3 = 245 $ ( accordin to links below )

245 - 120 = 125


u can make sure here :

GDDR2

Something tells me your out to get me since I had to let you know that it was a bad idea to post that pointless Vista thread (and in the wrong section to boot) so if you want to try to correct me... for future references please do your research.

Its one thing to post incorrect information, thats bad... but it happens to us all.

Its a whole different story when your going to correct somebody else and they are not wrong and you have the wrong info tho.


Please look for yourself: http://www.photohost.org/gallery/data/500/2032tempfile.JPG

If you want to buy a barebone unit and the gpu seperatly and pay more thats your business, for the rest of us we will be smarter and get it with the unit.

 

sry again im not wrong becoz some units come with 7700 u may wanna chech here :

(http://www.avadirect.com/product_det....asp?PRID=9189) , so if u don't have enough money to get 8600m gt GDDR3 with ur order u may upgrade later when doing that .... u may look here again .........................

geniusO2: Dont use strong colors, please.

And to solve your pointless argument, you are both right.

 

Im not arguing with anybody, it comes off that way tho when somebody is trying to argue with me which is one reason those "strong" colors come off as an attack. However I am surprised anybody is even entertaining this guy. he is linking to sites that nobody here uses with higher than normal prices.

Its like telling somebody not to buy a Zen instead of an Ipod then linking to some 3rd world site where it cost 2x more than normal using the price as your defense when anybody with common sense knows you can get the Zen cheaper.

Gentech right there has the upgrade for only 50$, without even searching I belive that they include the 512mb 8600gt with the unit cheaper than getting the barebone and the 7000 series card separate. Even if you go back to my first post I was not really factoring in price, I was explaining that the GDDR3 card now has drivers that work and its worth getting the best card since the gpu is already the weakest part of the laptop in the first place.

 

what's this about new drivers working with the GDDR3 card? I haven't heard anything about that :O

 

... dear ViciousXUSMC NBR Reviewer
despite my great respect for u .. i want u to know that
asus C90S is not the only laptop on the planet which has MXM II slot !!

AMILO Pi 1536 has ATI X1400 ddr2 in mxm II http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/Resources/193/669139914.pdf

in this case u need a better card so .. u have to buy a 8600m gt from ( sites that nobody uses 3rd world site where it cost 2x - like GenTech in my previous replay up there

SO i think it's a pointless to depend on ur seller , if u don't have c90

 

And you should know Genius that the C90 uses C90 only cards even tho its MXMII it wont take a standard MXMII card it has to be made for the C90. Anyways no fighting with me I know from experience that fighting over the internet is like the special Olympics, even if you win... your still retarded. (joke joke no angry PMs!)

As for a prior post, yes the newest drivers 163.25 I think it is?? are being reported by others to work 100% with the GDDR3 card with no loss in performance like all the other drivers, so its a very big thing. The only issue is that overclocking is locked. That can of course if you so find the need to be important enough, be bypassed with a bios level overclock by flashing your gpu to have higher stock clocks.

 

hey , i wasn't talk about c90 ...

anyway no fighting with u anymore

peace peace peace


may i ask u how old are u if u don't mind ?
