Just got my g51vx a1 !!!!

such a nice machine!!! I love it!!! Bought it from Canada computers... love the quality of it!!!! Everything feels nice... so what else should i get? Im thinking about the cooler.


btw can i extend the memory on this a1?

Vlad!

 

Congratts!!!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking of getting a Zalman NC2000 cooler and a Belkin Nostromo n52te SpeedPad when I get mine.

I believe you can upgrade to 8megs of ram too.

 

congrats! this is a great machine and IMO will have great longevity as well!

 

yep mine is arriving monday, so psyched for it!!!!! the biggest thing that led me to buying it was the discount, 1244USD for this laptop BABY. i was thinking of just propping it up and eventually buynig the NZXT Cryo. I have a mamba for it lolol

 

lucky you, i wish i could buy it in US but after thinking about it i said it, went to the store and cashed out 2200 cad for this baby, but it is a very nice laptop. i like it!!

 

btw i know with this purchase we are eligible for an windows 7 upgrade how do i do that?

Computers from twenty years ago had more than 8 MB of RAM.


Anyway, yes, the G51vx can accept up to 8 GB of RAM.

 

Mine should be coming in tomorrow morning, I am gonna have so much fun =D. I ordered a bunch of games/accessories the same day and most will get here at the same time as the laptop (<3 usps tracking) so I get to have some fun from the get-go.

 

which ram does laptop have? which one should i add? Because i feel that another 4 gig will make quite a difference especially with this vista lol

 

There is no way you'll use 4GB of RAM just in Vista. Even while gaming, you're most likely not going to use all 4GB.

Unless you edit video/photos, there is really no reason to get the extra RAM now. Besides, to get 8 GB of RAM, you're gonna have to buy 2 x 4GB sticks which costs alot of money. Better off to wait until the price drops.

 

Um yea ... 8Gb ... but 8mg is supported as well !

 

watcha order? lol the A1 or the X1A? which gaming accesories?

 

I plan to use many adobe programs at once. Maybe not huge video files but just having many programs running at the same time. Do you think having 8 gigs of ram will benefit in this way?

 

Well......not necessarily unless you're doing video re-encoding while editing your huge 20 megapixel image.

 

Are you talking about the bing cashback deal? I heard you have to wait 60 days min, to get your money sent to you.

 

Regardless, patience equals free money back in your wallet. It's not such a lethal lottery as you think, Lethal Lottery.

 

Timing equals free money too. Last week the price dropped $125 at a reseller then shot back up by afternoon. I spent the morning deciding if I should, then checking later the deal was off.

 

well wouldnt another 4 gig of ram make aplication open up much more faster?

Which ram does a1 has?

 

nope, unless you're doing very memory intensive work like video editing.
for normal day to day gaming and work , and surfing, 4gb is more than enough, your best bet is to use a mem monitor and have it running while you do your normal stuff, if you break 60% mem usage consistently i'd be surprised

as for the second question do you mean what type of mem? or what brand?

 

I will certainly get 8gb ram and QX9300 as soon as price allows. Will be fantastic for an Adobe Power user!!

Oh and a OC'ed QX9300 will be great for games. I am extremely picky and see a difference in frames with a .2 increase in processor.
