Yeah, there is some problem with the wireless unit as what you have said. Myself personally faced it too.

Hmmm, about the graphics card, I am fairly sure we can't upgrade it. I have contacted Fujitsu at Singapore. They said it's not an upgradable module.

Desktop GPU are not permanently sealed, but this unit, YES it's sealed!

BTW, I would like to ask experts out there... how do I overclock the graphics card ?

The X300 GPU is soldered onto the motherboard much like the way intergrated graphics are on desktop motherboards. It is not like a card that you plug in.

If you want to overclock the GPU, you might want to try ATI Tool. Google it.

Cheers.

hEY there dude, If i were to run a 512MB DDR2 400Mhz & a 512MB DDR2 533Mhz, will I be successfully to utilize the DDR2 function because of the frequency?

Hey there every users of Fujitsu N3510, have anyone feel that the performance of the wireless module of this unit unsatisfactory? If yes, any better solution?

I just got this laptop 2 days ago, and I can say nothing but great things. As you all know, it has a magnificent screen, boot-up times are very quick, it performs very well.

I dont know very much about graphics cards, from what I hear the ATI x300 is supposed to be very weak. Personally, i dont mind it just yet. Ive been playing Battlefield 2 and Half-Life 2, neither of them are set on High settings. Battlefield runs smoothly on low settings and no music (it lagged a bit when the music was on) but who needs it when bullets are flying in all directions?? As for Half Life 2, its also running pretty smooth - thats set on Medium settings, and I am very satisfied with its performance. (Sorry I cant help you guys on framerates, I dont know much about that stuff). Ive also played several movies and they have played without a skip.

Ive been experiencing some heat on the bottom left palm-rest, but this could also be because Ive been running this machine to its limit.
And the wireless unit could be better. It doesnt suck, it just acts up on random occasions (twice so far). I had it disconnect and connect for no aparent reasons on those occasions. Also, sometimes pages just wont load - I get the "Page not found" message, but when I check my signal it says "Excellent". I had heard of these issues before, but I have also read that its not the computer, but the Intel Pro 2200BG wireless chipset that is installed in the computer. This problem has spawned on other laptops with the same wireless chipset as well.

As for a solution to the problem, I had read that Intel released some drivers for the chipset, they are currently downloading. (Stock driver is 9.0.1.9, the updated one is 9.0.2.1). I heard that the drivers help fix the issue, but I dont know from experience yet. I'll write another post after Ive had some time to test out the new drivers in a few days.

But besides those little things, this is a great machine. as stated, ill post again after i play with the new drivers for a while.

hey there, issit SAFE to overclock the graphics card as mentioned at the first post??

Hi there,

Have you tried installing the omega drivers for the n3510? It almost doubled my 3dmark05 score when i did. The drivers also enable hypermemory on the X300 which utilises some ram as shared video memory.

Hey there friend, can you provide me the exact link to download that driver? I am a computer noob.

Btw, may I know where is the compartment to take off if i want to upgrade my hard disk?

check your pm.
