[quote author=“gilberto”]the TX doesnt have a linux partition. Some punk came up with this nonsense on notebookforums.com

It is a normal app that can be installed. The AV button is wired funny and when you push the AV in windows, it brings up the WinDVD.

The ‘real’ AV feature works ONLY if the computer is hibernating or in stand by mode. You can’t bring it up when it is OFF.

While in ‘real’ AV mode, the fan spins like crazy, the CPU utilization is way too high and the battery dies pretty fast. I would say less than 2 movies.

The ‘real’ AV mode resembles minix, but for sure it doesnt run on its own partition. The AV just invokes this file that has to be in the c:\

This A/V feature unfortunately is not a real gem.

Not to mention that it doesnt remember your settings and you have to readjust the hue, brightness, etc every time you boot into it.

In my book the A/V is just another sorry ass excuse from Sony. It could have been done way better!

My 2 cents.

Weird mine saves my settings including the backlight and the place where I stopped last on the DVD I’m viewing..  But I haven’t tried switching to another DVD and see if it saves the settings from the previously watched DVD movie..  But it does saves my settings..
Maybe they’ve fixed it on TX770 and above..  :idea:

[quote author=“Gundam”]Well japanese dude think about it. Not just looking at performance stuff just which looks nicer. 2nd which is lighter, longer, wider etc. The TR has the smallest demensions but the fattest. The T has similar demensions to the TR but the battery sticks out back. The TX is the lightest but the widest. To me the TR looks the nicest but isn’t as sly as the T or TX. To me the TX looks the worst out of all of them. So if you count performance over wideness and less style compared to other two(depends on your eyes) because for me id rather it be slightly heavier but less demensions but thats just me. So its all up to you which one you need more but it usually at ends up which you like better in looks since there almost identical. Ive tried out all of them there all good works of machines. But the TX’s screen opening people say its flimsy its true its not that it would break just that you can feel it bend but never break. Good luck choosing.

I still like the T250P for some reason, I think it’s the keyboard..  But The battery just stick out much and makes it a bit bulky on the sleeve.  And it’s a bit hotter than the TX770P..  The thickness of my T250P’s screen has better protection than the TX770P that’s why be carefull I guess but I think the TX770 is durable enough for my daily use.  Just don’t hold and press in the middle or else white linings of dust or smudge appears on the screen like as if it’s imprinted, just hold it on the sides then it’ll be fine.  So far I like it and it’s tad faster now, maybe I’ll upgrade this to 1.5GB.

[quote author=“gilberto”]Another Gig drops the temps, since it is not swapping anymore. I run at 48-49 most of the time even with the jumps to 1.2Ghz.

Make sure you apply the hibernation patch. If you do not have it, please let me know and I will point you where to download it.

If you go beyond 1Gb, you will not be able to hibernate properly, it will cry that there are not enough system resources.

Cool so where to download?  I’m lazy searching google.. hehe

make sure you have SP2 before you do it.

Are they both the same :?:
I already have SP2 on it.
