[Acer Aspire 1410/1810t/1810tz] Timeline Tweaks (2)

I just got my 1810t and it came with a graphic driver version 8.15.10.1855. This appears to be an Acer specific driver. Does the Intel driver at the beginning of this thread work better?

 

That just seems to be an older Win7 driver.

 

Hmm if I check Acer's site for the latest drivers for the 1810t it lists the one I have released on 10/21 or 10/23. Can't remember the exact date.

 

The drivers on Intel's site and in the first post are much newer than 1855.
Btw, all the drivers in the first post listing "Win7/Vista" are Win7 drivers. I decided to call them Win7/Vista because they are compatible and work on both OS.

 

When I try to run the setup.exe from that driver download, I get this message:

 

Which driver did you try? Did you select the right version(32bit/64bit)?

 

I used this link: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/18122/a08/GFX_Win7_64_15.15.6.64.1892_PV_Intel.exe

Windows 7 Home 64-bit

 

Maybe the .inf in the 64bit drivers are missing some device IDs, dunno. The drivers in the first post are from the desktop section because the notebook drivers are usually a few streps behind. So far every driver worked for me(Vista 32bit). It's best to check your graphics card's device ID in hardware manager and check if it's listed in the .inf

It would be good if you find someone else with Win7 64bit, who could try to install the driver first.

Edit:
Maybe it has todo with some sh*tty security crap of Win7 not allowing unsigned drivers. Unfortunately I'm no expert in this regard.

 

Very strange. I even went to Intel's website and downloading the latest driver for the laptop series and it gives me the same exact message. Keeps pointing me back to the manufacturer for a driver. Surely someone else here has tried this on their new 1810T. I'll wait to see what they say.

 

FWIW, I got the same error on my 1810T.

 

Ok that's good to hear. Thanks for confirming that.

 

I was able to get them to install with some tweaking.

I had to take the following section from kit19354.inf in the Graphics driver posted on Acer's site and replace the corresponding section in the igdlh64.inf found in the latest Intel drivers with it.

After I did that the newest Intel drivers installed fine. In order to do this you'll need to download the .zip from Intel, not the .exe.

 

Is it worth doing this? Is there a big performance increase?

 

I'm not sure. Maybe some others will know.

 

On my new 1810T with Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit I got the same message when trying to install the new ones over the stock Acer Intel GMA drivers. So I uninstalled the stock ones, rebooted, installed the latest Intel reference drivers, then rebooted again. All seems well now and performance in Source-based games seems to be a tad better. Previously I had installed the latest Realtek audio and Intel INF updates, FWIW.

 

Great thread. I have Win7 Ultimate 64bit on my 1410.

My question is about the webcam. I find it very laggy, and much worse than the basic MS 3000 webcams running on an older desktop around here. It behaves the same in Skype and Acer's own Acer Crystal Eye app. Plugged in or battery power.

I originally ran with the drivers that Windows installed for the webcam, then later upgraded the driver to the one Acer supplies on their website.

Unfortunately I don't know how the webcam is supposed to perform in Vista, as I didn't even install it. I pulled the original HD out and replaced it with a 500GB where I installed Windows 7. I heard the webcam in the 1410 was a poorer one, but I didn't think it was this slow.

Any ideas?

Sorry for my english:
i tried using crystal cpuid for undervolting but in cpu-z I see that the voltage is 0.9. Does it mean that the voltage didnt change or that the cpu-z is no compatible yet with win7 x64 (wich is the OS i'm using) and have problem showing the right values but the crystal cpuid actually made the changes?
Another cuestion about crystal cpuid, the X marks near some of the values of multiplier and voltages are because those values are locked and cant be selected?

 

It seems that CPUID is a little quirky. Some settings work, but others don't. It's best to stay with RMC for best results, for now.

 

Which Acer program / utility gives the overlaid on-screen icons when changing the volume and enabling / disabling other functions?

I just clean installed my 1810T, and I want to install as few of Acer's bloatware programs as possible.

 

it's called launch manager. check support site for 1810t under application

 

The Synaptics driver with the two finger scroll works on my 3810t! Thanks der_mali, been missing that since I sold my EEE 901. It's great that I know have two finger scrolling and chirol scrolling!

 

I have formatted my pc, but on support site of the Acer I not find the launch manager and erecovery. Anybody can help me. Thanks.

Sorry for my english.

Thanks for link.

 

I came across this forum while searcing for information on the 1810TZ. With all the threads and information on this forum I decided to order one. I ended up ordering a 1810TZ laptop, OCZ 32gig ssd HD and 4 gigs of 800mhz ram. I'm going to upgrade the machine as soon as I get it.

These are the tests that I am going to perform.
1) Stock benchmark
2) Difference in ram between stock 3 gigs @ 667mhz and 4 gigs 800mhz dual channel.
3) Difference between ssd and stock HD. Boot time and performance numbers
4) Performance of fully modded system vs stock

Are there any spicific benchmark programs that you would like me to use for these tests?

This is my way of giving back the the community.

 

the syntp_sgs inf can't be downloaded anymore, can anyone give a mirror?

 

I'm not too sure about your plan.

IMHO, you should just got the 1810T and skipped the DDR2-800 RAM. First, there seems to be little improvement going from 4GB DDR2-667 (2 x 2GB) to 4GB DDR2-800 (2 x 2GB). Second, RAM prices have shot up in the past few weeks. 4GB of DDR2-800 (2 x 2GB) SO-DIMM's are now >$80.

So, you end up paying >$630 ($550 + $80) for a machine with an inferior CPU and RAM that doesn't really perform noticeably better.

 

I just downloaded latest from Synaptics.com in advanced properties (including demo movies) you can set the various gestures you need.
v14.0.3

 

thanks for the info

Well laptop is on backorder so I can change that but why is the 1810T so much better than the 1810TZ? I figured that the core duo is better to have than tha core solo.

 

That's where the numbering from Acer is confusing. He's talking about the 1810t with the su7300 dual core cpu.

 

Cancel your order and do more research.
Acer's model numbers can be quite confusing given international variations.
To get the fastest little 11.6 Acer, be sure to buy the USA 1810T SU7300.

And don't even bother with upgrades because the 1810T
will always be just an average little notebook, performance-wise.
If you want a really fast machine, look elsewhere.

 

Thanks everyone for the info! I'll be cancelling my order.

 

Although, it's still a bad azz little machine.

 

Well the SSD might not be a bad play if he want to spend the coin and doesn't mind the loss of space, but the memory upgrade was iffy.

 

Assuming you're in the US the 1810T has a SU7300, which is better than the SU4100 in the 1810TZ. Both are dual core.

 

It makes a significant difference if you use the right drivers on the right OS. I posted a comparison somewhere, but can't find it right now.

2x2GB, 667, Vista drivers, Vista 32bit, 3D Mark 03: 1480
2x2GB, 800, Vista drivers, Vista 32bit, 3D Mark 03: 1673

 

But that one doesn't include three finger gestures, or am I wrong?

I want the inf file that enables the three finger gestures, but the site doesn't allow more than 1000 downloads...

Hey guys I have a few concerns and I was wondering if any of you can please help me:

1.) How should i go about updating BIOS? Right now, my dxdiag says i'm running InsydeH2O Version 0.3108. Should I go to the acer website and download .3120 or is that the wrong BIOS for me?

2.) In trying to burn the recovery discs using virtual-cd, my computer constantly freezes and never finishes. It crashes and I have to force shut down holding down the power button. Is anyone else having these issues and how did you go about solving it? I tried closing any unnecessary programs...

3.) Lastly, whenever I watch videos (youtube, nfl.com) without my AC adapter plugged in, the videos are very slow and lag. Volume also takes quite a bit of time to increase (like 5-10 seconds after I try increasing it). Is there a way to make these videos play smoother?

Thanks everyone, I know it's a lot but any input is greatly appreciated!

1)My 1810t was shipped with .3117. I had to first upgrade to .3118 first, by downloading it off Acer's website and running their exe in the package. After the reboot, I had to upgrade to 0.3120 using a similar process. You should be able to select the correct BIOS by specifying the correct model no. at Acer's (at least U.S.) website. You might need to upgrade sequentially to latest, and not directly to the latest.

3) Play with the power settings. The battery power settings normally default to maximum battery life, which also makes performance the worst. You should be able to reverse that by playing with the settings.

 

I upgraded directly to the newest bios on my 1810T

 

I just backed up the restore partition (I used Macrium Reflect) and deleted it. Since I also have a WHS I really don't bother. If I need to restore I either restore the partition or the complete full backup from WHS, the latter is of course tweaked and unbloated

 

For those interested, here are some differences between the SU4100 and SU7300 based on Intel specs:

L2 Cache: 3MB/4MB
SSE: SSE3/SSE4
Tcase: 100C/105C
VT: No/Yes
Thermal Monitor 2: No/Yes

Links here:
http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=43568
http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=42791

Interesting to note that despite the different amount of cache and features, both have the same die size (107mmx107mm) and the same number of transistors (410million). Kind of makes you wonder if they simply turned off some features on the SU7300 and relabel it SU4100.

The big question is: Does the SU7300 have the same battery life as the SU4100?

 

That ARK information isn't exactly correct, plus you've got some typos there.

Here are the differences actually reported by the CPU's:


To your last point. They both have the same die size and transistor count as 6MB L2 Penryn chips.

 

@steno
I already added Stereodude's table to the first post, so seek and you will find

 

I found the laptop but it seems that Tigerdirect won't have it in stock till next week. Looks like it's a hot seller. Amazon is out of stock as well.

 

If anyone in the US has SMD soldering experience and the tools and would be willing to do the PLL mod on my 1410, please PM me. I'm willing to pay for the mod, and will pay round trip shipping of the motherboard. I live in the USA and am hoping for a quick turnaround. I just don't have the tools or the skills to do this. Thanks.

thanks before hand na

 

I have the 1810TZ with 2GB Samsung M4 70T5663EH3-CE6 and wanted to push them on 800Mhz.

After starting Typhoon Burner tells me that he "cant install system driver!".

I tried compatible mode and run as admin. Im using Win7 64bit HE. Some knows whats wrong there?

 

I suppose it doesn't work in 64bit. Some people on Weinter's blog reported the same:
