4x4 pickup trucks

bcshuang — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:40:37 +0800

hello all, I'm going to buy a 4x4 pick up truck soon (sarawak) and i have some in mind.. might wanna get some recommendation from u all..
These are the pickups i'm considering in term of durability, quality, looks, performance and servicing.

1. Ford Ranger 2012 XLT 2.2
2. Isuzu D-max 3.0 AT
3. Mitsubishi triton VGT
4. Mitsubishi triton 2.5

I actually like Hilux a lot, but the risk of thief magnet is too high.. also Chevy Colorado as chevy has no service center in Miri.. So I only have these choices, i think. Please share me your opinions (of coz got technical details support will be much appreciated). Thanks all..

Wanna ask also:
When is Ford Ranger 2012 gonna launch? O.o waited for so long adi.. still no car to see in showroom.
when is Isuzu D-max 2012 version (completely redesigned) gonna launch in malaysia?

a. Triton VGT

i bought a computer with 4GB of DDR3 1333 RAM, 500GB of HDD, i5-750, HD5770, PSU 720W, and a P55-UD3L mobo.
but i can't rate my rig (i'm currently using win 7 64-bit). I tried to format to win7 32bit but the problem doesn't seemed to be solved. when ever i rate my rig, it will run until approximately 90% and then the error message is displayed i.e "Windows cannot complete the assignment" (agak agak like tat lar the error msg) So what could be the cause of the problem?

Windows 64-bit and Windows 32-bit

bcshuang — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 15:45:34 +0800

Guys, for a desktop build, what hardware actually determines the OS on 32-bit or 64-bit? and is that true that windows 7 32-bit can only support up to 3.5gb of RAM only? So if i get 4gb of DDR3 1333 is just a waste? and can anyone tell me DDR3 1066 and DDR3 1333 difference?

thanks in advance!
Regards.
