Got my S96J

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Got my S96J from Gentech about a week ago. Been playing games and stuff and forgot all about posting. They had very good service and support. So for I like the laptop alot. I pretty much maxed everything out except went with the 1.8 Dual core processor. It runs battlefield 2 great on high settings.
It looks sharp too. Build quality is better than the Dell's I have had. The only downside is the speakers do not get loud at all. But its not too much of a problem. You still can hear with games pretty well. If you wanted to listen to music you would have to hook up to external speakers.
Now what should I be looking for the make sure its runnung properly? Its working great but I am no computer expert. I have all the stock drivers from Asus. Is there better graphic drivers out there? What about anti-virus software?

Have you noticed any dead pixels? I've heard that Omega drivers are better than the stock ATI ones, but I've never had any experience with them my self. About the AV, if you’re looking for a free anti-virus, I've heard good things about Avast! and if you don't mind paying, I've also heard Nod32 is a great AV.

To check game performance, you might want to run 3dmark05 but for other aspects, I'm not sure, sorry

I'd probably run a HD benchmark, PCMark and 3DMark05. Those'll probably much tell you if everything's running up to potential. As for anti-virus, AVG/Avast would be fine if you're looking for something free. Kerio Personal Firewall is a nice firewall. (Firewall is definitely more important than anti-virus if you're careful)

Have fun with it.
