Hi peeps..

I've been cracking my head.. I'm from JB and GF is in KL. I'll go and look for her over the weekend. We have from morning till around 3pm.

Where's a good place to have a date, with alot of privacy?

I did tot of Karaoke.. as we used to do in JB. But in KL, I only know of RedBox and Neway.. and they always comes into the room all too often.

Well, it's not like we are going to have sex or what.. just wanted some private time together.

Nvidia nForce Networking Controller

epileather — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 01:24:57 +0800

Hi,
I've got myself a COMPAQ Presario V3715AU. I've installed VISTA.

I'm having a problem with my Ethernet controller. It doesn't work, and when I try to install the thing, Windows give me a prompt that

the Nvidia nForce Network controller is not working. I tried the nVidia site to locate the driver but failed to do so.

How should I solve the problem?

Older games for VISTA

epileather — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 09:24:11 +0800

Hi guys,
What are the older games (not too old la I mean, like NFS Underground, Most Wanted, Carbon, Halo, Unreal Tournament 2, those 2-4 year old games) can be supported in VISTA?

Problem is I'm running VISTA on my lappie with a onboard Nvidia Geforce Go 7150, with 1GB DDR2 only, so, if I run the latest game... SUFFER.

Any recommendations? Thanks guys.

Partition problems after installing Vista

epileather — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 12:23:33 +0800

I got myself an empty laptop, with a 250gb hdd. So, I installed Vista. It asked me to choose the drive/partition.

So, I set my primary installation drive to 40gb. The installation went on in a breeze. After setting up everything,
I realize one thing...

I got only 1 drive, C:... with 40gb.

How do I deal with the rest of the harddisk?

Thanks alot gurus!

Compaq V7000AU

epileather — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 13:42:35 +0800

Hi,
I've just purchased a Compaq V7000 lappie, without Operating System.

When I installed Windows XP, I have problems with the drivers. I called HP and asked them they said that the laptop is for Windows VISTA. If I wanna run XP, I need to find 3rd party drivers.

I managed to find some of the drivers, but now what I can't find is the soundcard.
I need the XP version for Conexant High-Definition SmartAudio 221 Driver.

Anyone have any idea?

Why is RAM so expensive....

epileather — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 17:05:12 +0800

I really don't understand.

I go to HP online Store and check out the laptops. If I wanna add RAM to the lappy I wanna buy, together with the
laptop, this is the price:

1GB DDR II module (667MHz) = RM280

2GB DDR II module (667MHz) = RM990

But if I buy it from a third party source, it's only about RM200 or less.
EG;
2GB Kingston DDR2 SO-DIMM RAM for laptop w/ lifetime waranty = RM148
Kingston 2GB PC2-5300 DDR2 667 SO-Dimm Ram For Laptop / Notebook = RM310
Corsair DDR2 2GB 667 PC2-5300 Notebook Laptop SODIMM Memory Ram = RM148

What's the difference?
