So I'm curious... how'd you get it to recognize all the RAM?

bdms08 · 02-03-2010, 04:03 PM

Even if it doesn't work, I appreciate the effort.

It was not me but he started to send me private messages asking about my model. His last message said its fixed and recognizing all the ram.
He is in Singapore, thus the strange model #.

Mine is running great! I love this thing. I am so glad I returned my HP DV8T
and switched to this N61JQ-X1. I was so hesitant with the lower screen resolution on this thing. But honestly I can't tell much difference between this and all the 1080p's Iv'e had.
Most people will want the A1 model for the larger hard drive. But if you are like me and planning to upgrade to ssd eventually than just save the money and get the X1 for $999.
One problem with ordering the X1 or A1 from newegg. The Wifi card does not
support 5ghz. If your router does you might want to get it from the resellers so you can upgrade to the intel 5100.
I wish someone could give me some links for some tests I could run so I could post them. Not being a gamer I have never really looked into any benchmark tests.

A SuperPi 32M test would be interesting if you're looking for tests to perform. Most other tests have already been done, by other people, though. You could also run HD Tune to find out how fast your hard drive is, if you're curious.

I didnt upgrade my WIFI card...I left the stock one. I ordered the A1 from powernotebooks.com. How big of a deal is it ?
