I've used a 16GB Class 6 SDHC and it worked fine.

It slowly was raising..at about the 30 min mark it was at 95C. Im going to do another stress test which will be longer this time, but from what you said I think everything is ok. It was the right fan and yes you are correct about hitting 91 before 10 min.

Yes, you are ok until you go over 110C. And remember, Furmark will stress your GPU more, and more consistently, than any game would.

Bikerman, Hakira pretty much eloquently summed up the point I was trying to make. Sorry if I offended, but I don't see the point of bemoaning what the laptop doesn't have when it wasn't like it was ever GOING to have it. If you truly want those options, ASUS has choices with those included. All of the laptops you compared it to actually cost more (in some cases, a lot more) than the G73.

even if the card is in another format, it should show up under disk management

I'm just wondering about a something with my RAM. My G73JH has got 6 gigs of ram, and according to HWiNFO the clock of the RAM is 667 MHz. Is this normal? Shouldn't the RAM-modules in this computer be faster than this? Or am I mistaken? Any help would be appreciated!

Common newbie error

If it reports 667 DDR3 (Double Data Rate) means you have 1333mhz ram.

paladin44 · 09-09-2010, 12:15 PM

Double Data Rate = DDR, so DDR3/1333 would show a 667MHz speed, but that is before it is doubled. Showing 667Mhz is correct.

However were you supposed to have 8GB or 6GB...which version ASUS G73JH do you have?
