Acer TimelineX 3820TG Owners Lounge. Info, benchmarks, tweaks, mods and upgrades

continuing on with the screen discussion, i saw today a 4820tg with a CMO screen which to my understanding is chimei? Does anyone have any ideas about cmo as opposed to auo screens? tbh it actually looked a lil duller than the auo ones ive been seeing but taht could be because of the lighting.

I'm a 3820 User and have only looked at the service manual for the Aspire Timeline 13" and I will use one of the display, which are listed there.

If you can ever find one of the LG's that are listed as OEM for the 3820TG, that would be the one to try for a swap.

I'd like to replace my 9-cell to 6-cell.
So, will 6-cell for 3810 will suit to 3820 too ?

Funny, my monitor looks like the "good" examples, not the other ones. I took a pic of the 3 together with my blackberry. As soon as I can find the miniUSB cable around here, I'll upload and post it. It seems like it is the luck of the draw. I would have to be convinced that a replacement monitor would be better than the one I have before I would consider replacing it.

Off topic - has anyone started to feel like reading these threads is a chore?

I know this is the 3820TG owners lounge but I have a 5820TG which has the same hardware as 3820TG and I have a question about the Intel graphics.

When I set the graphics to discrete in the BIOS, Win 7 shows 3.87 GB of RAM as usable. When I set it to switchable it says 3.68 GB. I thought that no RAM would be reserved when Intel graphics is disabled.

PS.
I've also done a clean install of Win 7 64-bit and now I have a device in "Device manager" named "PCI Simple Communications Controller" and I can't find any drivers for it. Did anyone come across a driver for this?

The fact that there aren't too many 3820TG owners posting in here tells me that they're all enjoying their laptops.

That is a good thing.
