    Hi guys! I am new here although i have been reading the forum for info on Asus. At last i drop my money on the Asus F81SE which imo is good enough for a light gaming. Anyway i got my friend from China to bring it to Indonesia since Asus in Indonesia only has some lame integrated graphic card. Well as soon as i get it, i fired up the CPU-Z and GPU-Z. I must say it is pretty interesting.

    Well my first question is for the HD4570. The memory is reported as 0... is it real or just that GPU-Z does not have the info on HD4570. Same goes with the Shader.

    Second question, GPU-Z report the memory as DDR2. Is this going to be a lot slower than DDR3 or just slightly slower

    Last question... based on CPU-Z result, is T4200 a 1mb cache version of Core 2 Duo Penryn or CPU-Z is just plainly wrong?

    Thanks in advance!

    1) Pretty sure CPUZ doesn't have the ability to report the HD4570 memory correctly. There isn't going to be a video card around that has 0MB of VRAM.

    2) DDR2 will be a little slower... but you won't notice a difference. The biggest benefit of DDR3 right now is lowered power consumption (and even then, not by much).

    3) The T4200 is indeed a Penryn-based processor with 1MB of L2 cache.
