Asus.G1S.Resource.Thread

I don't see much a good reason to undervolt the CPU or GPU... I don't see any reason to overclock either, as it can pretty much handle most games thrown at it without any tweaking.

 

well, undervolting does save you power (longer batt life) and lowers the core temp. of your computer so that the parts aren't as hot as they normally are, fans aren't always on full blast, etc. And i'm thinking of overclocking for future games such as total war empire

 

Just a quick check; is the Windows XP hosted at http://www.ocshoot.no/binaries/XP_PRO_ISO/ a Retail or an OEM version?

 

uhh..you cant share that stuff take it off please

 

The link has been on the first page since, like, the beginning of the thread and now it's not allowed? Not my host anyway, just wondering...

 

Its not a cracked or hacked version as ive been told. Its a version that includes the drivers you need to install it on a Sata hdd. This should not violate any rules? - because you still need your personal win xp key to complete the installation. However i have not checked this my self, i've just put one link to the xpCD on the first page as it was posted earlier in the thread.

says in readme :

"This is not a unattended XP - you need your product key in order to install XP_Pro w. SP2 (32bit - english)"

 

I saw the readme but unfortunately that doesn't lighten is it OEM or Retail, as they need a different serial to work.

 

The iso is compiled from a retail version, product key is NOT included.
I would never share anything "illegal" since I am a system builder and therefore would risk loosing a lot of my income.



OTHER:

Regarding "overclocking" using rmclock - you actually don't overclock the CPU ; you just bypass the CPU "throthling" - making it run at 100 % no matter which CPU demand. You will not be able to destroy your CPU by using RMclock, overclocking doesn't kill CPU's - high overvolting and extreme cooling do kill CPU's....
Using RMclock to achieve full CPU speed when on batteries is something I will classify as stupidity

Overclocking - and off course, far worse : overvolting - the GFX might be a total different case if you as me has opened G1S... the GFX cooling is a laugh - the nortbridge cooling likewise, Asus did a ****ty job with the cooling of these two.
I have never seen NVIDIA GFX's die of anything else than overvolting combined with lousy cooling - so I would not recommend to increase G1S's GFX /memory voltage very much.
There are ways to increase the GFX cooling quite a lot by removing the thick heat pads and replace them with copper or aluminum shims together with a good paste, this is definitely not a job for the faint harted on G1S.

4GB ? read this @ http://mywebpages.comcast.net/SupportCD/XPMyths.html (don't buy all statements on this site )

Faster ram might automatically give tighter timings - autosensed by bios - thus better performance

Regarding boot.ini switches - some "precompiled" @ http://www.ocshoot.no/binaries/boot.ini/ - and even more on the meaning of these switches @ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833721

Good luck with XP on G1S - it's like turbocharging !!!!!

 

excellent Nils G !
Found this thread 3 hours ago and now my g1s is up'n running XP

first tests and impressions;
+206 points in 3dmark06
+311 points in 3dmark 05
games running smoother
filetransfers ar a lot quicker
computer starts on half the time
computer shuts down much faster

Også er det tøft at den ultimate løsninga kom fra en nordmann !
Men ikke hvem som helst nordmann vel? NilsG = mr. OcShoot ??

 

umm my bad..my apologies..when you posted it i see iso and my mind processed it to be illegal XD..my apologies again

 

Um.. wtf I've undervolted my G1s using RMClock to 1.112 V on idle and on Performance mode with all the necessary options checked as indicated in this thread. However, when I'm running the CPU stress test in Orthos the temp of the CPU still reaches 75, and my GPU temp has stayed constant at 81 no matter what. It almost seems like I haven't done anything yet even though RMClock is saying I've undervolted the processor? Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Also, my comp is currently set on the RMClock Power settings... should it be the Power for Gear Battery Saver or another one of those options? My CPU also idles around 61.

 

Am I doing something wrong? but how come I cant find the iso file to download when i go to http://www.ocshoot.no/binaries/XP_PRO_ISO/ ?

 

Looks like it got removed?

 

hmm - send a tell to NilsG

 

I have no clue why the .iso have "disappeared" - might be that someone in my organisation belived it was "warez" and deleted it
Anyway - I won't be able to upload it again before 3 november since I am abroad atm.

I did compile a new .iso ; XP MediaCenter with all updates and drivers included + a lot of other goodies from Microsoft.
I guess that it should be no problem to use this instead of a "ordinary" XP - but to be absolutely sure I will ask my contact in Microsoft about this.
I guess you guys know that if you don't have a valid MediaCenter productkey - but have a valid XP product key - you will end up with XP without MediaCenter installing this.

I use this rls myself now ; everything works - even hibernating

 

sweet i might just install it then.. but im getting used to vista

 

Well I'm not quite certain if this is the right place to ask it (hell even if it's the right forum), but I was wondering what is considered the best laptop cooler for the G1S (by that I mean which provides the best cooling, most comfortable to use)?

Any help with this matter would be great!

 

Here is a local thread with some discussion regarding your question. Personally, I'm also interested in purchasing a cooler for my G1s..but never really proactively looked into buying one.

Thanks so much for the link.

 

Could you let me know when you post it up i just got my Asus today and i'm already annoyed of Vista i rather spend extra time in Xp then in vista on this machine.

 

omfg- have to do a new install again then
Your xp pro iso was absolute excellent,great work that saved me hours of frustrating installing.
Give some rep folks !

 

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for the Iso or the Driver Pack -- does anyone have copy of it that i can grab from them please i'm trying to get XP on my asus any help would be greatly helpful at this point please...

 

here is what he posted:

 

Thanks but those lhttp://nsa.f28.us/G1S/Asus_G1S_XP_Driver_Pack.zip and the iso link are both dead

 

Hey mate, il update my post, but that driver pack is dead yes. The ISO is coming back up, promised by NilsG, but dont know when. Il search for a new pack and remove the old way.

 

Hi everyone,

Does the introduction of BIOS v.205 change the way we install XP? I'm rather fed up with Vista, and I would imagine the new BIOS might make things easier???

Also, does anybody know if the new BIOS has dealt with the 50% cpu cuttage that occurs when the battery is charging? I have the new BIOS and I *think* I still have the battery/cpu problem, but I refuse to believe it!

 

Hi

The iso will be back up tomorrow (XP Pro / MediaCenter) , complete with all drivers ++ - I will also host the driver pack.
URL will be posted as soon I have uploaded

 

I managed to install XP with 204 bios without any problems, bios 205 give you a opportunity to choose a new setting in bios to avoid "running into bluescreen when installing XP" whatever that means....

Surely it won't hurt to flash to 205 bios...

 

Thank you NilsG you sir are my god can't wait for the iso to have it freshly installed on my notebook thank you once again ..

 

Ack. I just managed to slipstream the sata driver, and managed to install XP. However I have no drivers whatsoever, I can't even connect to the internet and it takes almost 3 minutes to shut down =/. Is there anything that I could do?

 

Download the XP driver pack on a flash drive and install it off there.

 

All the links to the pack are broken =(

 

Uploading to Megaupload right now, will provide link in half hour or so.

Here is the URL for the XP driver pack...
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YOVP7BKX

Enjoy XP

 

Just to make sure, these will work with the G1S-X1 right? (From bestbuy)

 

Hmm.. That is a good question. I believe they should. The only difference between the X1 and A1 is the processor. Can anyone confirm?

 

Yes... That's pretty much the only difference.

 

Thank you guys for posting the driver pack i'll also mirror it on my personal server as well.

 

well, the bestbuy one does not include the backpack. I'm not sure about this, but you might lose a year in the warranty and might not get the mouse either.

 

I've got the XP pack loaded as well. Check sig. Was getting 1mb/sec+ down last night

 

Thanks for the driver pack i also mirror it this morning
http://frankiegravato.com/drivers/Asus%20G1S%20XP%20Driver%20Pack.zip Driver Pack

 

Its been updated with new links and description, i also removed the old "method 2" as the links no longer works. Thank you guys for making the driver packs and hosting them!

You make so many lives easier.

 

I am impressed that so many take responibility and host the driver pack !

Here is my contribution @ http://www.ocshoot.no/binaries/AsusG1S/

Confirmed that the iso works flawlessly (yes I did do a fresh install to be sure) - you will find a folder "Drivers" in this iso ; it's the full driverpack.

You can also grab the driverpack from here @ http://www.ocshoot.no/binaries/AsusG1S/Asus_G1S_XP-Driverpack.zip

There is as mentioned before a lot of tweaks and extras for XP to be found @ http://www.ocshoot.no/binaries/

If it is something else I might help you guys with ; I can be found at ocshoot.no - efnet (OcS|Main)





README:

This is not a unattended XP - you need your product key in order to install XP_Pro or MediaCenter w. SP2 (32bit - english)

After installation install drivers in this order:

*CHIPSET
**ACPI CONTROL
***VIDEO


AUDIO
WIRELESS DRIVER + WIRELESS CONSOLE (Wireless Console is found in the Asus_Utilities map)
****BLUETOOTH


*INSTALL FIRST - THEN REBOOT !
** INSTALL AFTER CHIPSET INSTALL/REBOOT
*** INSTALL AFTER ACPI CONTROLL INSTALL/REBOOT
**** INSTALL AFTER WIRELESS CONSOLE (CONSOLE DEPENDANT)

The rest of the drivers (found in the Drivers map) can be installed in any order you like
After everything is installed visit Microsoft Update and also update DirectX to the latest version ( http://download.microsoft.com/downl...-8ff3-de9100d98a5d/directx_aug2007_redist.exe )

Trengs oppdatering igjen fra deg igjen Irathi ------------ Gratulerer med gullet !

 

I will update it tomorrow,.

forresten NilsG, med gullet? **?

 

Syns du nevnte at du var fra Bergen ?

EDIT: Frontbuttons works when using MediaCenter and MediaPlayer..... E-Sata works (ThermalTake Muse E-Sata) and so does HDMI (tested on a LG 32LX2R)

Oddly enough MediaCenter did stop work after I grabbed all updates ; did a reinstall again and now MediaCenter works even after I grabbed all the updates again....
LightScribe seems to be supported (haven't tested this) with Nero8 CoverDesigner ; but the result using printable dvd's/cd's and SureThing CD/DVD Labeler is a LOT better @ http://www.surething.com/ST/
Anyway - you can grab the LightScribe System Software @ http://lightscribe.com/downloadsection/Windows/index.aspx?id=810
Overclocking (overbussing) is now also supported using latest SetFSB { ICS9LPR363DGLF } @ http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/

 

ahhh im having a really annoying problem and i dunno what to do anymore. Everything works up to installing windows xp pro then when i want to install the graphics card drivers it says it doesnt have drivers for my g1s. i dunno if this is the cause but after checking in device manager theres a exclamation mark next to Mobile Intel PM965 PCI Express Root Port - 2A01 saying not enough resources. anyone know a workaround for this?

 

Chronus,

Did you follow the steps above NilsG outline for Windows XP.

1st. Install CHIPSET Driver and then Reboot
2nd. Install ACPI CONTROL Driver and then Reboot
3rd. Install VIDEO Driver and then Reboot

Its what i did on mines last night worked flawless.

 

yep i did everything in that order, i read this link http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20070722164723140&board_id=3&model=G1S&SLanguage=en-us&page=1 where it seems other people seem to be getting the issue as well ill try disabling some services

 

omgggggg it works now but lol i had to disable all 5 Intel ICH8 PCI Express Root Ports. ill have to try and enable them one by one to see which ones causing the conflict. i hope no other devices use these ports

 

Thanks for the sweet guide man, this will make my life 100% easier with my new G1S.
