Can you confirm that the fan(s) are working

It's only 32 bit Window Opsys that don't recognize more than 3 gigs of RAM..glad you got it going

The only reason I asked, was after you installed windows, with your drivers on a disk, was wondering if the optical driver worked...it must have worked otherwise you wouldnt be able to load your drivers, so there must be a generic driver...

Yeah, I got all that stuff on sticks...the only I should do is preload a stick with all the drivers,,,Have you run into any problems with using a USB stick or a CD before you load the ASUS drivers...or, are there generic drivers that...

Yeah, all the attempts were done at 2.4..so speed wasnt an issue in this case...hopefully when the time comes, if the restore discs I created when the ASUS was new dont work..hoping this will...

I'd be very surprised, if an i5 would be rated as a gaming laptop

This is a first for me..I have had probably 10 different laptops over the years..some second hand and have never had to replace one before..I beleive the access to this cmos is pretty easy ie: under the big plate on the bottom...Strange...

I havent broke it down yet,,Thought someone might have the type/number handy...been losing a little time for the last few weeks..

anyone have the type or number for the cmos battery..Searched, googled, cant find anything..Even looked on Ebay

Just did a successful burn on the Acer Aspire 7720 laptop...its running a Pioneer DVD RW optical drive..no problems using the +R media. The Asus G74SX has a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT 34N drive (Hitachi/LG variant) and I guess doesnt like that...
