jooku1 : mayb u sud try installing AMD PowerNow and AMD cool'n'quiet drivers to increase the battery life.. try setting brightness to medium

it might help to squeeze some extra juice from the 6cell battery,,

do keep us posted if u plan to try the above mentioned...

thanx..

jooku1,

really cool benchmark figures! thanx! looks like AMD Turion 64 X2 beats the crap out of my AMD Athlon 64 3500+... im using the same chipset 6150 and 430 MCP as your notebook... lol... congrats on your good buy... its worth it...

im sure u can play games like SWAT 4, NFS MW, and alot of other games with playable framerates... lol...

i think NVIDIA Go 6150 is slightly better than ATi Xpress200 and ATi Xpress 1150 caz it has shader model 3.0.. lol... the hp nx 6325 uses the lates ATi Xpress 1150 that support Turion X2 and DDR2 rams...

one thing tho.... how come your processor sticker is not X2? its just the normal AMD Turion 64 sticker.. might wna call up the computer shop or hp to do something about it.. ask them to mail u the correct sticker or something...

Woohoo, thanks for the support man!

About the sticker, well that's an idea. Hope they will mail it coz can't really be bothered to go all the way down to LYP (I live in PJ Darul Billboard) just for a sticker. Maybe during my next trip for a notebook backpack

SO to those planning on buying, check the sticker!!!!

But I read somewhere that the drivers are already pre=installed and I just need to activate it via the power schemes menu, right?

I'm sure it'll already be in portable/laptop from the start.

Edit:

Just to clarify..

Cool N Quiet is for Desktop AMD processors
Powernow is for Mobile

Help!! Can someone please post step by step method to enable powernow? It doesn't appear in my control panel. When I installed Powernow Dashboard Demo i got some kind of error message.
NHC seems to be running fine.

Google...install CPU-Z... run it.

Unplug your AC Adaptor.... if your clockspeed drop to for example...1Ghz or 800Mhz... then ur PowerNow is working fine.
