            <title>Housing Loan Early Settlement: 1 Month Notice</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4634492</link>
            <description>Hi brothers... I am planning to use HSBC refinancing to perform full settlement for my AmBank Housing loan. Lock in period is already over. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I checked from my Ambank online account and find out the balance for my housing loan. I used that balance as my refinancing amount. My HSBC banker advised me to apply a bit more (like 3 months extra) because she say normally bank will charge 2-3 months extra. But I dont apply more because the 2-3 months charges (if there is any) I can settle by cash. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just informed by my HSBC banker that my offer letter is out. Will ask her more when I meet her, but just hope to do some homework first:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Is it necessary for me to write a one-month notice to Ambank? If yes, what kind of content should I include?&lt;br /&gt;- Is there any other things I should know/find out before signing the HSBC offer letter? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks all sifus&amp;#33; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>Buy Desktop max RM 3000</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3945304</link>
            <description>Hi all computer sifu, may I ask for your valued opinion for my plan to buy a desktop. Shamefully I can use computer but know almost zero about it. Sigh sigh. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Purchase plan:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- full set desktop (CPU with burner, monitor (standard size or slightly bigger is just fine), speaker)&lt;br /&gt;- no need printer &lt;br /&gt;- keyboard and mouse can be the cheapest type&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;User type: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- surf internet a lot (open many webpages and hate it when too many pictures slow down the speed. so memory (RAM?) is my main priority)&lt;br /&gt;- always download movies overnight (which I will transfer to hard disk and watch using TV at living room)&lt;br /&gt;- use MS word, excel, powerpoint &lt;br /&gt;- have tendency to run multiple programs at once (which then cause lagging) &lt;br /&gt;- occasionally watch movies &lt;br /&gt;- may occasionally play olden day games like Civilisation, 3 Kingdoms (san guo zhi), Street Fighter (yes, old style people... I do not play DOTA or games like that)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Preference:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- high, high speed&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;- disk space (for downloading movie, but I suppose computers nowadays easily have very large disk space which does not require me to add on anymore)&lt;br /&gt;- I don&amp;#39;t think I need a super good graphic card.  A standard one or slightly bigger is good enough I think &lt;br /&gt;- Most probably will buy one this weekend because there will be a pc fair in town &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Budget:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- RM 3000 maximum (because this is the income tax deduction limit hehehe and in fact I intend to use this to deduct my income tax). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Additional question:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I heard that nowadays desktop comes with own window set up file that, say, one day I want to reformat my desktop, I just need to press a button and everything will be reset to factory setting, am I correct? no need installation CD like the olden days anymore?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you&amp;#33;&amp;#33; &lt;!--emo&amp;:)--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
