Asus P5QL Pro

pskk — Tue, 25 Nov 2014 17:55:30 +0800

hi all,

I have an old desktop using Asus P5QL Pro mobo.

I am thinking of upgrading.

Can the mobo support Core i5-4460 or the graphic card r9-270x?

was thinking of recycling to save some money as my old rig has Cooler Master casing & Cooler Master 550W PSU.

If cannot then no choice but to get a new rig.

Thks.

Malaysia= world champion!

Malaysia BOLEH!

http://www.malaysia-chronicle.com/index.ph...uption&Itemid=2

Despite Malaysia's high-profile anti-corruption crusade, half of the corporate executives surveyed by a global corruption watchdog believe that competitors have obtained business in the country through bribery.

Transparency International said Malaysia scored worst in the 2012 Bribe Payers Survey.

It asked nearly 3,000 executives from 30 countries whether they had lost a contract in the past year because competitors paid a bribe, and in Malaysia, 50% of them said 'yes'.

Second on the dubious honor roll was Mexico, which was at 48%.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Japan was ranked as the world's least-corrupt place to do business, with just 2% of respondents saying they had lost out due to bribery.

Malaysia's neighbour Singapore was second-cleanest, which was at 9%.

Even Indonesia, with a long-standing reputation for corruption, fared better than more-developed Malaysia.

By comparison, 27% of respondents in China said they thought bribes had cost them business, the report said.

"It shows the attitude of private companies in Malaysia, indicating that bribery in the public sector could be systemic and in a sense institutionalized," Paul Low, president of the Malaysian chapter of Transparency International, said.

Focal PS165 a waste for HU w/o amp?

pskk — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 19:16:57 +0800

dear all,

I want to change my front speakers to front component speakers. powered by HU, no amp.
my budget is RM1k.
went to many shops in pg and found Hertz & Focal.

when i told the shop ppl I want Focal PS 165 or Hertz ESK 165, i was given the answer if there is no amp no need to buy them instead they recommend cheaper ( below rm500 ) brands or series.

is it true that it is a waste of money to buy Focal PS 165/Hertz ESK 165 ( both around rm1k ) if i dont hv amp?

thks.

What does sensitivity of hu means?

pskk — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 20:27:06 +0800

Hi,

I drive vios 2007 type e.
I jus want to install front component speakers.
After going thru some topics in this forum, I visited an ice shop.
Told him I want install front component speakers that will be powered by hu only, no amp.

He told me hv to match sensitivity of hu to sensitivity of speakers. Otherwise will need amp.
I can see on the speakers box packing, there is rating of sensitivity......but when I go back to my home and chk manual on my stock hu, there is no sensitivity.
I want to know so that when I select the front component I can be sure my hu is able to support the speakers.
Or did d ice shop guy bluff me?

This for ur replies.

expedia.com.my

pskk — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 10:02:54 +0800

anyone tried expedia.com.my before?

i found it while surfing for hotel booking in bangkok.
on the website it says that they are the only online travel agent that offers airasia flights.

i compared the flight tickets fm pg to bkk return and the price is the same at airasia website & expedia.
what i am more interested is the hotels package price ( when book together with flight ), i found that the hotels are cheaper than agoda or booking.com.

but i want to know have anyone tried expedia.com.my? is it safe?
thks.
