For me 2 also important... if RAM too low, it take a lot of time to loading a program somemore a problem like virtual memory low often happen. IF CPU speed slow, even can load program faster but the program will quite laggy. CPU speed does help in loading speed also. Which i had tried when keep my speed at 800mhz and compare with 1.6ghz. And 256mb ram compare 700++mb ram. RAM and cpu speed high is the best

compaq is a economical laptop.....obviously if you look at the top notebook reviews you wont see the compaq there as they only list the super high end brands like asus and so....
and also define what do you mean by not very good?

problem solved. thank you so much.

im also buying this V3415 laptop.. . suprisingly no reseller carry this laptop in JB. So i order frm HP directly and they deliver it to warehouse to collect.

Any advice what i should check upon collect the laptop? I worry about dead/bright dot on the lcd. Anyway to check it since if comes with freedos only.

Also plans to upgrade it to 2gb third party ram, wonder where is the slot ?

Hope got so sifu advise me fast..

slot will be below the laptop...better get from a reseller...at least they wont rip you off when upgrade ram...cause hp ram upgrade prices are ridiculous..

my situation now:

Buy frm reseller in lawyat
Price V3415 = $2139 (so far cheapest offered) + 199 warranty upgrade
go KL (to n fro) = $50
Cc card = 2% (some wants 1.6% - 5%) <--- excuse CC bank charge them but charges different. crap excuse!
total = $2430

Buy direct from HP
Price V3415 = $2199 + 199 upgrade warranty
transport = $0
cc card = $0
total = $2398

lolz.. save $32 + 10 hours (journey to KL)

if only reseller in lawyat don't charge me cc 2%, i already go up buy liao.

isn't you guys have a tutorial to install windows xp on an intel laptop that doesn't come with windows. Where to get the full driver, a their website only got few only. Where can I get the full driver?

full driver is at hp website
search under presario v3000 cto

found it.. thanks alot. and the driver installation process is the same as stated in the first page for the AMD lappy right? exclude the nvidia n geforce driver..

I saw the 2GB Ram in LYP last weekend.. price I believe was going for RM330..

(if i remember correctly... )

Rm300++ for a 2gb stick?

i dont belive it...its just too cheap
