ACER 6935G, My Own Complete Review

@Boska: glad to be of service man
@Fendi: you can update to 8gb maximum and of course u need a 64-bit system to utilise it...as far as 'my' RAM goes i havnt checked mine...

 

8gb of ddr3 ram in my beast machine,my work will go very very silky smooth!thx for the answer achutngpakhtoon!so what brand of ddr3 do u guys recommend to buy ?any spec ?

 

well im no expert in this category but there are alot of choices...but in my opinion OCZ RAM's are in the top tier for perfomance... Corsair is another superb choice.

 

yea achutngpakhtoon,both are superior and both are pricey too!huhu!but i think i have spend some on my ram cause sometimes i do alot of 3d rendering work on my 6935g.anyway,izzit true that acer not coming out with this model already?in my country there is no more stock!and i also get my 6935g when it was a display model,the last there is!my friend is willing to let go his dell xps for this baby beast at any cost!lol

 

WINDOWS SEVEN CIR ITE DRIVER COMPATIBILITY ISSUE

I would like to mention that I've met some compatibility issue with the CIR ITE driver for Windows 7. The Consloe Media Pad didn't respond very well. I've returned to the previous driver (Vista) using the system restore, everything came back to normal.

 

erm...what is CIR ITE driver ?i'm just getting ready for window 7...

 

and guys,can 6935g burn dvd's ?

 

What I know it makes working the console media pad on the left of your keyboard

 

Of course it can!!!

 

alright!thank you thank you all of u,now atleast i could have the solution prepare when i face problems installing window 7!and luckily 6935g can burn dvd's!so for u guys who use window 7,what do to think about it compare to vista?damn good ?

 

Look at my review on the first page You will know everything about it. What improvements and other stuffs

 

Any idea why the CineDash Media Console doesnt work properly on volume controls? I installed the one for Windows 7 .. and it's not responding properly..

 

i think this is your answer eugene91

 

No its not.. I now have installed Windows Vista version of the driver and made the installer run in compatibility mode for windows vista sp2. And now its working fine again.

 

sorry my bad,anyway still i think the cinedash still needs vista just to run properly!thx for the info again eugene91!

please reply in detail


thanks and waiting your kind response

 

But you have now installed the Vista Version as I've suggested and not the the Seven Version...

 

ok guys the weird thing is that the Seven version for it is working fine for me

 

hi boska,i've heard the about changing the processor before but i don't know whethe they done it or not,but the thing i'm sure of is that u can't upgrade from ddr2 to ddr3 because of diffrence motherboard.that is also a topic i read somewhere from the web,i forget already where!anyway guys,correct me if i'm wrong,and let's help our friend here!peace!

 

yea,sometimes pc drivers and software are wierd,i'm afraid that my design application can't work in window 7...huhu!

 

guys,i need to know what is the diffren of window 7 and window 7 RTM ?and can i just download the window 7 from bitcomet and just buy the never before use serial number from ebay ?will it make any diffrince ?pls help me to decide!!!

 

RTM=Release To Manufacturer. It means this is the edition released to manufacturer such as Dell, ACER, Lenovo, Sony,... this is the version that the manufacturers pre-install on their computers. This release was out since last july to give time to them to prepare their new products. The RTM contain usually all Windows 7 version available (Starter, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate 32bits/64bits). This is the same version than the commercial release.

 

alright i got it now,so if i just download window 7 from the internet or borrow my friend dvd to install,and i just go to ebay and buy the never before use serial number,will it be a good choice?because if i just buy the serial number,it will be much much cost saving for me compare to the dvd set.and thx alot darika for the above information!

 

FENDI i think that buying a never used before serial on Ebay is a bit risky. if you are 'willing' to pay then why not buy the original. also if u can find the Windows 7 RC (Release Candidate = almost at par with the RTM...which means almost finished product) from the web u will be able to use it for upto summer next time giving u ample time for prices to come down for Win 7...and the RC is like the real thing it does evrything...

 

alright achutngpakhtoon!but where can i get the RC version or RTM version ?

 

Anyone knows a method to install an x64 virtual machine?
I've search in bios and.. no virtualization to activate... with BIOS v1.13.

I heard that ACER like Sony has deactivated it. Don't know how to reactivate it. We must wait for a new bios that provide it but not sure they will release it or we will have to write a petition for it

 

Hello Darika

I finaly purchased Acer Aspire 6935. It came with Vista Home Premium but I did a custom install of windows 7 Professional, hence I had to reinstal all drivers. It seems that all drivers are installed but I cant hear the surround sound emitted from the inbuilt sub woofer whereas I could hear it earlier in vista.

I also see that If I press the Acer Empowering Technology button, I can only see ePower Management, eData Security Management and eSettings Management. I think there was also eAudio management. I went to Acer UK website but I could not find the application for windows 7 although for vista it is available.

Also, I see that the touch panel audio control works fine but it is not precise in moving the sound. I mean even if I drag the volume to full, actually it does not set to full sound and the same applies to setting the volume to low level. The only proper way to set volume is via the icon on the lower right.

Please, can you assist me with this one.

Thank You

 

I have installed windows 7 on my acer aspire 6939. I could not find eaudio for windows 7 and hence I am not able to take advantage of the inbuilt bass feature. Please help.

 

@darika

I've call at acer suport center and they keep telling me.. send an email with the problem and we will contact you... w*f i've call 7 times (in half year) , and nothing.. keep telling me to send an email.. ****** robots ))

 

Darika can i ask you a question.I have Acer aspire 6935G but i have very strange problem.Any game that i try to play run very smooth for a few minutes and then start to glitch i see my GPU temp is around 60C i don`t know if the problem is because of that or something else.My bios is 1.10 and i`m with Windows 7 RTM 64 bit i try to update the nvidia drivers same.I also buy Enermax Cooling pad that looks like yours.Can you help me? I think to install windows XP but i can`t find any empowering technology that run on that OS so...

 

I've managed to enable virtualization on my 6935G with BIOS v1.13 by following instructions on the following thread....Proceed with caution this involves modifying your BIOS!

http://marcansoft.com/blog/2009/06/enabling-intel-vt-on-the-aspire-8930g/

I can confirm afterwards it is possible to install virtual machine software I have tested with "XP Mode" In Windows 7.

 

It seems Realtek has removed some options in the last driver (2.36).Indeed, in the Sound management (Control Panel of Windows), in the speakers properties LEVELS tab, most of the levels are missing so the Internal Subwoofer level too.
I suggest to get the previous version that I'm using:
Realtek Driver 2.32

After you have installed it, you must be able to see these settings :



You are now able to adjust the level of the subwoofer

Anyway, the center level will be useless here as the 6935G doesn't have center speaker like the 893xG.

I'm gonna to update the main page of my review to warn about this little problem.

 

Also install the Vista version of launch manager(make the installer run in compatibility mode) to make the touchpad works like normal again

 

Opps, you are right Darika, it is 2.1 speakers. But this application "e-audio" is not released for windows 7 yet. Hence I cant hear sound from the woofer. Anyways, I will install the driver of a preivious version you suggested and tell you the outcome.

Thank You

 

Does anyone of you out there knows if there is a skin available to the keyboard of Acer Aspire 6935/g I tried to search hard on the internet and came across none which are compatible for it. Any suggestions?

 

Bingo Darika!

I did as you said and now I can hear the surround sound. Bravo! Bravo!

Now there is just one issue with my audio level touch panel which is:
It does not respond accurately while controlling sound. Rest all controls work fine, just the volume meter is not accurate to control sound so I have to use the volume icon to increase/decrease volume. This happened after I installed windows 7 but it was working fine in vista. I guess there is some application/driver that I need to install for it to work accurately.

 

Are you referring to the audio touch panel which has all the audio controls? Well i installed the vista version of launch manager but still it does not works acurately.

 

As I mentioned some days ago, if you have installed the CIR ITE Driver for Windows 7, you must replace it by the one made for Vista, and the audio touch panel should work like before
I've also had this problem with Windows 7 CIR ITE driver, so I rolled back with the Vista driver version.

 

I get this error messsage while trying to install the vista version of CIR ITE. I even tried to install it after rebooting but in vain.

Well I think you sould try updating your BIOS to the latest ver1.13. But I wonder if you faced this problem when you was on Vista. If yes then I guess it is something to do with BIOS. Even Darika, on her review has stated on her review of Acer Aspire 6935g that after she updated her BIOS there was improvement in gaming graphics.

Also, a word of caution, which is updating BIOS can be risky and if done incorrectly can permanently damage your system. You can find the latest BIOS on the acer website but even they warn about updating unless told by any personnel of Acer to do so.

Hope that helps.

 

I didn't notice that problem when I was on Vista.But two days ago I put XP,the problem still exist,I don't believe the problem is from the operation system.

 

Well, I suggest you contact your manufacturer and update the bios.

 

i just updated it i try and i post the results.

 

Scorpio,
i think you have throttling problem. Let me explain this. While you are playing games it is possible your CPU overheats (or BIOS thinks it is overheating) and CPU starts downclocking thus causing low performance.
i suggest you read this thread and inform yourself more on this issue. Theres also solution for acer6920G that i think works to on 6935g.
at least you can see how to check if you have this trottling problem.
Good Luck.

Anyone knows how to control the CPU fan? SpeedFan doesn't work, and others say that fans sensors are not found... I heard that Acer blocks that options... Is there someway to turn around this?

 

Well i did this with throttile and downcloacking but still after cpu reach 50C old story...any suggestions?

 

Hi

I see from your laptop specs that you have n-draft wireless. I own acer 6935 and wanted to know how to find out if I have n-draft or not.

 

Neither mine has TV tuner but is it possible to install a TV tuner card on acer 6935?
