    Look for Acer a program called Acer Empowering Technology or Acer eRecovery, that program will allow you to create recovery disks.

    EDR- Enhanced Data Rate.

    Means bluetooth should be a little faster than the 2.0 standard. Really, it makes little difference.

    Hi guys,
    I had a few queries...

    When i try to update nVIDIA drivers(by going to properties and selecting update drive option) it says you already have the latest drivers installed...
    But the driver date is 28-4-2007 and driver version is 7.15.11.119

    Is it the latest driver?
    And also what is Bios?
    And how to share memory through turbocache?

    Driver version is 7.15.11.119 ( Version 101.19) is old and it's not good for gaming :cool:
    Latest driver is 163.44(You can download it from laptopvideo2go.com)

    BIOS hmmm..... simply you need it to start your computer(It contain all the hardware information that need to bootup the computer) :D

    >Interesting... Didn't know that there is a T7100 model.

    On the Acer website it shows all of the T7XXX models that are available, from 1.8GHZ up to 2.4GHZ.. So that must be the highest speed available for the 5920G... Funny though, Acer's website doesn't mention the T5250 1.5GHZ at all.

    By the way, in case you don't know the "empowering" sticker is really easy to peel off.

    generally Core 2 Duo T7100 processors come with 2MB L2 Cache, but mine came with 4MB L2 Cache, don't know how? :confused:

    [​IMG]


    in the specs written on the sticker on the laptop it says Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7100(1.8GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache)
    :confused:

    well anyways am glad to notice that :D
