i have an asus A8JS notebook running vista and finding the screen very choppy on most games even with all settings low/off, especially on Halo 2. Thinking of upgrading memory from 1G to 2G (max allowed) but not sure to go Corsair/generic/kingston etc and prices seem to vary alot from stores to online stores

if it matters it has intel 2 (2.0GHz) and GeForce G7700 GPU

Notebooks are never good for running games.. but yes i'd defiantly recommend upgrading from 1G... 2G minimum with Vista... I find it runs a bit smoother with 4GB... (even though 32bit can't use all the 4GB)... Just get the same speed memory that you have now... go for kingston or corsair, either are fine.

Get rid of any Nortons progs as well.

We diag probs caused by Nortons on LAPTOPS every day (-NOT desktops -OK there)

Use Vet/CA or alternatives instead!

PS if you like HALO2 you would LOVE TRIBES2!! ;)

-an oldie but would run great on your system and you would get more enjoyment out of it!

Have not found a better FPS in 8 years since starting to play it!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
