    The specs and looks are sweet when I just got my Z690
    P9600/4G/vista biz/320G 7200rpm/premium carbon.
    but how come there's 40% memory usage when I just start up the computer? Is the the same for all the Z or vista?
    The other thing is the HD video playback. When I open up a video It doesnt look as fancy as it was on my previous S model, a little bit blurry even for those 1080i videos so to speak. Is it becuz of the high resolution? and the color of the videos turn out to be more red. Isn't the Z supposed to be built for High Definition videos? Then how come it doesnt look so nice???

    40% = same for all vista, and Z has some extra stuff installed so it's probably a few percent higher, if you uninstalled everything it'll probably still be around there

    and no it shouldnt look blurry, check if your resolution is set to 1600x900

    and it might be more red because your previous mode is less red, perhaps something wrong with your S

    yes of course my res is set to 1600x900, the HD video clip is just not as sharp and crystal clear as it was in S, does it sound normal?
