I owned 2 compaq lappie...

M2000 - M242xAU
AMD Turion64 - 1.5 years old

Very good all around spec but it have ATI X200 PCI-E with 128MB shared Memory. considering 512 - 128 = +-384MB have to upgrade the memory module to 1gb DDR but not DDR2 - it's power hungry! can standby for 3 hr on battery (while since it AMD...ohh well).

V3000 - V3235TU
Intel Core Duo - 9 months

It;s was ok but the drivers for this model is quite hard to find...jammit!!
HP doesn't list all the drivers need to install! some of it i have to collect from somewhere else although most of HP/Compaq have same hardware - but it seems try & error cost me alot of time in downloading drivers -


take a look here
