Hi..
I don't know whether my V3203TU's driver compatible with yours or not.. Coz I got full installed drivers from HP company itself. Can your sis's laptop able to use USB port?
*
i do cancel search offer by windows to install driver. Cause the driver will search auto for compatible hardware during driver setup.

maybe i think without preloaded .. is kinda hard to install .. rite ?

My experience does not have any problem like bububang, my nvidia firewall working fine... but i dont use it meaning that i turned it off because it was slowdown my internet conection speed.

I think nothing wrong ler buy v3k unit without OS... if follow the guide should not be any problems... but in some special cases like quick launch does not work... but who cares...

just my 2 cents lor... user of V3250AU currently and user V3134AU previously.... was bought directly from HP website.....

whats the different between V3163 and V3250? Sorry for a noob question ya...
*
V3134 based on AMD Turion 64 2.0Ghz (Single Core), 60GB SATA Hard disk, 256 RAM DDR2 667Mhz, 2 USB Ports, WIFI b/g, NON-Glossy Casing and..

V3250 AMD Turion X2 1.60Ghz (Dual Core), 80GB SATA Hard disk, 512 RAM DDR2 667Mhz, 3 USB ports, 1 IEEE 1394 port plus Glossy Casing then still WIFI b/g.

But my opinion is Turion 64 2.0Ghz are faster than Turion X2 in term of speed. Then come to multitasking it was different story already...

Cheers!

-Happy Computing-

P/S: When i bought V3134 HP given 10 freebies item worth about RM300++ and when i bought V3250 HP given me targus backpack worth RM299.00

Huhuhuhuh... Thumb up for HP...

Yes you're right, but it was just advertisement strategy make product always fresh!

Basically, their hardware still same like motherboard, chipset, GPU, RAM Spec. I saw CPU upgrading and extra hardware quantity also extra quantity on connectivity ports like USB and IEEE 1394.

Cheers!

Yeah.. it's so simple and just nice to put every gadgets inside it... RM299.00 maaaaa...

HP V3000 is best buy now for me... HP make their product great and cheaper... it was company brand re-building strategy (I think lor) to beat Dell to become no. 1 and conquer world market. So take this advantage... as a consumer will get product plus good price!

Don't waste your money for so called high line spec! huhuhuhuhuhu....

what is Santa Rosa promotion??
:scratchhead:
*
SAN FRANCISCO--Intel unveiled a new generation of its Centrino notebook technology as well as the ultramobile PC during afternoon keynote speeches at the Intel Developer Forum on Tuesday.

As previously reported, Santa Rosa is the code name for the next iteration of Centrino, which is a combination of a mobile processor, chipset and wireless chip, said Sean Maloney, executive vice president and head of Intel's Mobility Group.


Santa Rosa will arrive in the first half of 2007, according to Maloney, though sources have put the expected launch around March of that year. Santa Rosa will accommodate the Merom processor that's expected to launch later this year but will feature a new chipset called Crestline that's designed to improve graphics performance.

Kedron, the new wireless chip in Santa Rosa, will support the 802.11n standard expected to be ratified early next year. But Wi-Fi networks such as 802.11n are only one part of Intel's wireless vision. The company continues to push WiMax technology as a future wide-area-network standard that could deliver data signals at broadband speeds over areas the size of cities.

Maloney demonstrated a single-chip Wi-Fi/WiMax radio that could connect to either network, as well as a WiMax PC card that could allow current-generation notebooks to hook up to WiMax networks. The WiMax PC card was running the mobile version of WiMax, which was recently approved by the IEEE.

according to NHC
if only when I use IE, MSN, WMP and others, it will goes up to 62-63 cels
but if idle for long time, it will always on about 48-50 only
but you can set to auto off harddisk after certain period, like 1 hour or 2 hours wink.gif

I used to browse net, photoshop, wifi on, battery charging and play youtube video for more than 2 hours. My temp is about 44(CPU) and 42(HD) in air-cond room...

One thing that i notice is this AMD X2 was so good even i run on multiple application and devices on time... it does not feel slower or having jagged display. Huh so far so happy with this lappy.

some ppl say AMD TURION 64X2 is even faster than INTEL CORE 2 DUO

but consumes more power ^ ^

TURION X2 is power guzzler. But the important part is cpu performance, AMD is damn good. If battery finish then recharge lor... it same thing apply to any lappy. The different is time to recharge. smile.gif

My lappy battery can last for more than 2 hours, which is good enough for me to work.

I just love AMD so much.. due to their consumer friendly (lowest cpu price)

p/s: i got read articles said that AMD going to combine cpu and gpu into single chip as a result from AMD-ATI sharing technology. What intel will say? smile.gif

i had a situation few weeks back, where i put my lappie v3119 in sleep mode, put in bag n left it in car for lunch... after nearly 1 hour then only i took it out, and the lappie was as hot as hell!! i burned my hand when i touched the HD area... the entire laptop surface was hot... it took about 15 minutes ++ for the lappie to cool down in ac room...

in such situation... would there have been any damage to my proc? lappie is working fine now... but it gets heated much faster than last time. Should anything have been damaged, would it be covered by warrany?
*
Emmm remind me on what was happened to me before.. forgot to turn off! But it's not my personal lappy(V3250AU). It was office laptop (HP NX5000(Intel Centrino)) even worst than u woooo... about 3-4 hours it's on and it was put inside the bag!

Yes, it's hot like hell! But luckily it never get blow and still working fine and until now i still using it at my office. Thank god.

p/s: better also having short time battery power, it can finish fast in case forget to turn off... hahahahahahaahah

hi kanethesun,
my budget.. erm cheaper the better but i really dont want to buy a laptop that generates a lot of heat.

i once own a ASUS Athlon laptop. initially i can still tolerate the heat and the CPU turn on once in a while. But as the laptop age, the CPU fan turn on quite often and the laptop is hot all the time. i got send the laptop for ppl to clean the inside. it was ok for quite some before the CPU fan starts to turn on quite often again.

so back to topic, since the GMA can run AERO, should i juz settle for the C2D version?

Look like c2d is best choice for you then... cooler, power savers and general computing.
