AMD C-50 CPU and 6250 GPU performance(Acer 522 review)

[karmatose]

Awesome news about the 4GB of RAM.

Can someone throw the x64 drivers on megaupload or the like? I didn't grab them from the OEM folder before removing it and I can only find the x86 drivers online.

So I'm in the market for a netbook, but should I hop on this one or wait for a zacate netbook? All I wanna do is school work and watch my movies and stuff on it.

If money is an issue then get this. It will be fine handling office and movies.

1080p movies are a piece of cake for this machine.

If not you might want to check the DM1z.

I bought mine because money was a bit of an issue and I like something light.
(And the fact that I am going to be one of the first with an APU, been waiting to have fusion the first time AMD said they plan on building it)

Currently installing Dynasty

[Shadowfate]

Ok Dynasty warriors online at default settings

800x600
4x AA(Yeah default setting that has 4x AA)
Fine Texture
Normal (setting i forgot)

First battle has me around 18-22 FPS. There are FPS drops but it was definitely playable with only a few noticeable Drops.

I havent tried playing again since I plan to play this on my main RIG

Will try to play again later with lowest setting I can get.

Question about Dynasty

Is this BETA Phase or is the game REALLY Free????

[ntsan]

The game is free to play, hence the item mall

thanks for the feedback! Does the game have 1280X720 setting on 522?

So did it hook on you?

[Shadowfate]

yep you can change the setting to 720p. Although the FPS drop is quite big

I'll probably play that when I have time LOL. I'll concentrate on Dead Space 2 First.

just picked this netbook up today at bestbuy.

is it me or does it only have one speaker on left hand side?

ive gone threw all speaker options ect but cant get any sound out of right hand side.

ps: with headphones im getting both right and left hand sound...

edit...humm been searching and found a couple reviews (link to one below) saying it only has one speaker ....."As far as battery life goes, it’s rated at just 6 hours. You’ll find only one speaker built-in, too."...can anyone confirm...

[ntsan]

Yeah there is only mono speaker with Acer 522 it seems

[Shadowfate]

Yup only one speaker. One of the bad traits of this good machine.

[roscoojam]

ah thanks guys...glad i dont have to take back...got for great price at bb $269

shadow...

i noticed you did a clean install of win 7...

-did you delete hidden partition? (ive made restore dvd's 3 and program/drivers dvd 1)

-did you use win 7 starter # on bottom of netbook and then activate? (with restore dvd's it's pre activated already)

-im guessing a clean install would help? i deleted mcafee (will use ms free one),acer reg,acer games,bing bar,ebay,esobi,win locker,norton online,acer welcome...anything else i can delete?

-if i want to run threw tv should i use hdmi cable...or vga to vga cord?
