HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP

I just bought German version of 4438G. And I dont want German version windows. So am I in deep shi*? I cant change menus language because it is Home version. And I dont know how to install PRO. version because I dont know where to find SATA drivers. And even if I find them I dont have disk drive A:

Is it possible to update HOME to PRO directly from windows.

Personally I don't know but I think there are other forums where you will sure get a correct answer.like Windows or smth...

I will also want to reinstall the Home edition because I want XP professional edition. Hope I won't have so many problems with it

I hope you talk to Fujitsu a.s.a.p for this issue. We all should contact their support because we need a solution. Preferably a bios with more options. If we all make an effort they cant ignore us.

What I found so far, on german Amilo forums, is that, MXM series even havn't got extended BIOS. I'll seek yet.
Oh, one more question? Did M3438 (or M4438) have got miniPCI slot? It would be nice to put there BT module instead using one USB port.

I haven't seen anything on the specification that mentions miniPCI, unless there's another name for it.

I have a quick question as well for any fujitsu owners here. My lappy (3438G) seems to shutdown without any reason from time to time (during gaming). Does anyone else have this same problem? And yes, my comp does get pretty hot as well, too hot almost...

Of course, there could be just some stupid reason for my problem.. but maybe not.

Sounds like overheating. Where are you using it?

I don't think there is a mini-PCI slot, but instead of attaching an external Bluetooth USB dongle you could buy a Bluetooth SD card to insert in the smart card slot, provided that you don't need it for other stuff...

But did SD slot in Mx438G support SDIO cards?
And I sometimes use SD to download photos from my camera
But I mostly use Vantec stand-cooler (it has got integrated X-in-1 card reader)

hi,
my 3438G seems to get a little hot but I haven't had the problem with the shutdown yet.
I recommend the underclocking forum. I've read it once and it doesn't seem to do any harm for the processor.
The heating problem i think it's mainly from the GPU...mine stays in 65-70 degrees Celsius. Could also be the hard drive but I doubt it.

Could you please post what version you have of Powercinema Linux and a photo of the program when using harddrive to play movies? I can only see strange maps like "all users" and "favourites" and such. And wherever I put my movies or mp3 or whatever, they cant be found in Powercinema Linux.
Also, despite what Cyberlink says, you can play divx movies when correct codec is installed. But for me, only from DVD/CD.
hi
My PowerCinema version is : ver 4.00.0414M
and here are 2 photos with it showing from harddrive...in attachment,dunno another way

My fujitsu lies on the table and the airflow does happen... but the temps on the comp are pretty silly though... for example I alt-tabbed out from a game and took a look at the temperatures for the GPU, the core was at 75 celsius and after a MINUTE or so it was down to 70 already...

If this comp would have a P4 processor it would burn a nice hole through the wooden table I have it on

Yes, I am completely sure the main reason for the heatage is the GPU with the DDR1 memory, but the cooling solution on the 3438G really isn't very good, sadly

Sorry for the double post (this was it). My internet connection just sucks...

And regarding my problem, if anyone was wondering, I haven't OC'd anything on my lappy (lappy... hell yeah, like I would be brave enough to use it on my lap).

amilo 1425 user, want to buy 3438

Hello!

I own a Amilo 1425, I get an score of 1400 in 3dmark05, 3600 in 3dmark03. I have heard scores up to 3600 in 3dmark05 with the m3438. That sounds great, but I have heard that nvidiA/FUJITSU-SIEMENS will come ot with ddr3 memory soon (on the graphics card).

The cooling on my Amilo 1425 isnt very good either, when i played BF2 on the lowest settings it crashed to desktop. How good is the screen, is as good as vaio?

I want to upgrade to m3438 but I'am not sure it's worth it. The screen I have is very good but it suffers from being to white sometimes and my major concern is that ATI 9700 lacks DVI (digital vibrance), a feuture nvidia supports. This results in a kind of poor color experience, at least if you are used to nvidia GPU's. The 3438 have a 6800 ultra Nvidia, does this machine have DVI or not?
