It is January 2006 and the countdown runs. I will provide you with information as soon as i receive them.
I hope you will recieve an answer fast!

My theory: everybody got this problem. Some notebooks are more affected by this bug, others are less affected by this bug. There are many applications in which no lags, freezes or hang-ups occur. Many people don't recognise the bug (sorry Belch), some people ignore it.
The bugfix will be released anyway and it will also improve the performance on machines of people, who think they haven't had the lagging issue so far. So it doesn't matter.

Sorry to dissapoint you Borkar. I dont think, I know I just dont have the problem. I have stresstested and used my 4438G for over 6 months. Games, video, videoout, optical out, RCA out, multitasking. Everything. Its powered on at least 10hours a day. Compared it with Dell 9300 with approx same spec. Maybe theres a bug latent, but in my configuration its not showing. Im also very hard to please when it comes to computers. Have exchanged my 4438G 2 times for screen and keyboard, small defections. I just want to tell everyone that its not true that you all suffer from this bug and that probably the majority will not see any performance boost when this is solved.

Just my theorys

My specs:

M4438G, 1024meg Samsung DDR2 400MHz, Fujitsu RAID0, CPU M760.

would you like to help me?

@Belch
ok, great. So maybe you can help me. Please give me detailed specs of your system in form of: (here in example of my system. This are specs with which on my system the bug occurs)

System:
M3438G - GER-177200-002 - YSNS02645x
Motherboard Revision: Rev.C FC CF006
CPU: 2,0Ghz PM760
RAM: 2x512MB DDR2-400 (Samsung)
HD: 2x80GB (Samsung) @ NTFS 4k
GPU: GeForceGo6800 @ Video-BIOS 5.41.02.39.49, 5.41.02.39.60 and @ nVidia driver 72.50, 78.10, 79.30, 81.94, 81.95, 82.10, 82.12
Sound drivers: none, 1.18a, 1.26, 1.27, 1.28beta
Chipset drivers: 6.3.0.1007, 7.2.1.1007, 7.2.2.1006
BIOS: 1.06rc, 1.10c, Default values loaded
RAID: none, 0 (4k, 8k, 16k, 64k), 1 @ RAID-BIOS 4.70 and @ driver 4.30A, 4.30H, 5.10A, 5.20A
OS: WinXP Home SP2, WinXP Pro SP2, fresh installed
Pagefile: none, dynamic, 1536MB fix, 3000MB fix

list up all combinations you used and you are sure that the lagging issue does not occur. Very important is RAID-BIOS and motherboard revision. To figure out the motherboard revision you have to open your notebook. Open the big faceplate and remove your RAM. There is a label with probably FC CF006 or CF004 on it. Give me the revision in form of Rev.C FC CF006 like I did.
You dont have to open your notebook. But you would help me (and FSC) a lot.
Thank you.

I don't think the bug affects me so much. I don't notice anything when I play games but I have only tested CS and WC3:FT so far. I reply when I have tested some more games.

Hi Borkar. Sorry, I will not remove the RAM because I have the 4438G on like a lease contract for tax reducing so If anything happens I void the insurance. Likely it wont, but the insurance is far to good to tamper with (covers everything like drooling and theft). Unscrewing bottom is maximum, sorry.

My specs looks the same. Fujitsu 2x80g RAID0. Geforce 6800Go with updated bios and right now 81.94 drives. Nothing else is updated other then original from FSC homepage. Bios 1.06c. WinXP home with SP2 and all updates until yesterday. Have not used Wireless once.

When I return home, I can post info from dxdiag if that helps.

ok, no problem. Maybe you give me your serial number (YSNS0xxxxx; the first integers are enough).

I have a question. I only get 1008 points in 3D mark 05. Is it the performance bug that prevents me from getting higher score? My friend has a Acer Ferrari 3200 and he got 1700 points...

M3438G with GeForce Go 6800:
There is a Video-BIOS update available. Download here http://home.eplus-online.de/gaetcke/...nvwinflash.zip
Without this update you have low performance with latest nVidia drivers and the current FSC-driver. The flash program runs under windows (quit all unneeded applications!) and updates your Video-BIOS to version x.39.60.

Hi everyone,
I bought a M4438G in December and am generally very happy with it.
One thing I've noticed though is on DVD playback, every few seconds there is either a very slight pause or dropped frames, resulting in a not completely smooth playback.
I don't know if this is related to the same problem?

Full spec is: PM-770 2.13 Ghz, !Mb RAM, 2 x 80GB HD (Fujitsu) in Raid 0, Win XP Prof.

I know about that problem and I think it has the same roots like the lagging issue. So wait for a fix of our main problem and DVD playback should work properly as well.
