Has anyne figured out how to control is the UMTS/3G module on at startup? I would like it to be off on normal startups. Dritek registry doesn't have similar values for 3G as it does for Bluetooth and Wifi.

I tried to make similar with the name "3G" but that doesn't seem to work. Also if someone tries to figure this out and testes it. You need to really turn the machine off. In restart those which are on stays on.

And I'm still having those nasty crashes where everything on the screen just stays still, no keys react to anything (Except for Power save key/taking power cord off). First I tought I would blame ATI but yesterday It hanged in battery life on Intel just couple of seconds after awaken from sleep mode.

Temps should be ok, they are somewhere 40-55 C.

It's the theme from 2001: a space odyssey. I'm a big Kubrick fan.

Speaking of Kubrick, You might as well do the "Full Metal Jacket" theme .

sorry for the OT

Great video.Are you also a Pink Floyd fan?That second track on your video is only from my all time favorite `Floyd album from back in the day.

Anybody know it?

Echoes, from the album Meddle.Listen to this entire track, late at night, or in the wee hours, alone in your room with the lights turned off,and I guarantee you you`ll start seeing things.I could go on but I think I`ll just keep the rest of this to myself,thanks.

...Any of the I5-450M's for sale in Hungary yet?

The highest specs I saw was the 430M with 5650 and 500GB. It is impossible to get one here as well with i5, because the first month they sold the 3820 machines with 3 yrs of warranty instead of 1 yr, so they are out of stock. I got the last one on the last day, but only with 320GB HDD :P ...

I am checking notebook reseller sites in Hungary for 3820TG with 450M almost every day, but still no news. I think they will definitely import it, as I feel the new shipment will be with 450M and 3xx only, not with 430M, but I don't know.
...

Here's the 450M for the hungarian market:

ACER Aspire TimelineX 3820TG-5454G50N (LX.PV102.265) | NotebookZone.hu szaküzlet és webáruház

However, it comes with only 1 Year warranty, the extension is like 20.000 HUF (89 USD).

So 450M + 500GB HDD + 3 years warranty costs 270.000 HUF (1210 USD)

My 430M + 320 GB HDD + 3 years warranty (free gift) cost me 218.000 HUF (978 USD)

Not sure whether the 450M's performance gain and the 180 GB additional storage space is worth 52.000 HUF (232 USD).

Long story short, the 450M is here, hurray!

When will the 520M arriwe?

Hi guys. I´ve just got one with Intel Core i5 430M , ATI HD5650,and 640GB HD. So far so good, but there´s one thing that surprised me while I was putting it through its paces. While a streamed , HD 1028 clip ran absolutely smoothly with the the Intel HD graphic chip switched on , it stuttered a bit with the dedicated card. I´m not very knowledgable about this, but is there something wrong ? Thanks for answering

[Hendrickson]

So Bronksy I'm itching to see you do a i7 620m install. When are you planning to get her on the operating table to do the transplant ?

I'm thinking of pressing forward soon and buying a i7 620m to drop into the unit soon..


@i5 Overclockers, you seem to have all gone quite? No real word on the best full time stable overclock you can do on the i5 430m?

Whats the best you have managed to do? Can you get anywhere near 3.2Ghz without any issues? If its fine that almost outweighs the i7 620m cost and hassle Vs getting an overclockable unit with 3G modem

Wow! Actually, the price difference is almost as big as it's worth buying the 430M model and changing the processor to 620M from ebay. And 500 GB is not your dream when you are planning a SSD. But I think when the cheaper shops are going to sell it the price will be all right. ATM, the cheapest 430M is 203.000 HUF.
