It seems that all of the mid-range lappies with C2D only comes with Intel graphics....to get C2D with Nvidia or ATI requires you to purchase more expensive range. 5K above.

max will be 256 MB

hi guys, owner of a V3010AU laptop, would like to check if it possible to purchase hp internal bluetooth card (i'm using a external dongle)...
initially my laptop does not come with one. Where can i purchase such a card ?

any idea?

Do you guys recommend me to uninstall the Norton Antivirus that comes pre-installed in my V3242 ??

I think the Norton AV is really slowing down the Vista and also my internet connection speed.

For Anti Virus, I prefer AVG...free & does not slow down the system.

Added on May 25, 2007, 11:00 amIs there anyway to increase the battery life besides lowering down the screen brightness ??

When on WiFi mode, I intend to try to increase the battery life to 2.5 hour.
Currently can last around 2 hours only.

Had any1 try installing DDR2 800 RAM into V3222AU? (or any other AMD model @ Wistron 30B5 motherboard). I'm planning RAM upgrade, and seeing  1GB DDR2 667 and DDR2 800 same price at RM160, I would go for the latter, provided it's compatible. Please advice. 

Of course, I'm aware that stock Nanya 512MB RAM is DDR2 667 and installing DDR2 800 at slot 2 would cap both @ DDR2 667.

yerp, ur right bro.. mine also at full use can last around 1.5 hrs..

haha... 1.5 hrs enuff d.. sempat find power point to charge.. hehe

yup most mobo still does not support 800mhz ..so going for 667mhz would be better ...

ya each lappy is diff in CPU-Z as long the multiplicator of the divider is equal then is okie already .lol

CPU-Z is a software that will review all ur pc and cpu details to you hehe ... like Everest ..but some things are more details.

uhm, I wonder why my laptop wont decrease the speed when I use battery only, as it still remain on 1.6ghz, this is too much draining my battery life
but it still manage to run 2 hours, so my guess if its running at half of the speed when I use battery, i can use at least 3 hours also
NHC can do setting on thise? I already chooose under Battery there, while using current, maximize performance, and when using battery, maximise batt life.
any idea?

Hey guys,

i already got 512MB in 1 of the slot. can i add another 1GB into the other slot? which means 512MB+1GB. is it ok? or do i hv to put in the same one i.e 512+512 @ 1GB+1GB.

Which brand can we use to upgrade the ram? corsair, kingston, mushkin...? all of the brand compatible with hp/compaq laptop?

i have 2 1gb rams inserted, how do i activate dual channel, or it does it automaticly?

oh ok, anyways how to install forceware?
