    Okay my friend just recieved his Asus F3sv X1. It is nice looking and attractive but we are having our share of issues.
    1) Is it typically this slow on vista with 1GB of ram?. It takes a while to turn off and shut down, and a while to load up programs
    2) Why does it take so long to transfer files...We were extracting 3D Mark 2005 from a CD to the desktop, and it was averaging about 4 BYTES a second
    3) We recieved 2 BSODs when we put in a San Andreas Game CD and a Ghost Recon CD. I never get these when I put Cds in. I am not sure but i think this is a memory problem.

    Overall what are some steps we can do to fix these problems. We really think the laptop has potential, but those things are plaguing it. Will an extra 1GB of ram fix this problem for sure? how can we delete all the bloatware ... step by step please.

    thanks ... and i cant wait to see the potential of that laptop

    vista will run prety slow on 1gig...try putting at least 2 gig of ram, and your computer should be a lot faster. If you dont want, you should go back to xp, or disable the fancy graphic option of vista(aero...)
