yeah batt drained up freakin fast lol
especially when wifi in ON

heat for me still ok
just the processor part (upper left) kinda hot
other places are cool
can feel the heat from my left leg

hmmm will try later
btw, wats the official software to check temp for compaq notebook

my proc around 40degree idle
when doing benchmark, it will go until 50+

means the sound will break on left speaker?

currently my processor multiplier is 6
the default will be 9
which means 9*166.3mhz i will get 1.5ghz, which is my default clockspeed
now i am @ 6x A.K.A underclocked
must update the bios first only can do modification on clockspeed?
or got any software can just adjust clockspeed in windows

din know much about intel, need a specific software name thx

oh icic
so means if i doing heavy task such as rendering graphics
it will boost up to 1.5ghz?

yes most of the driver is the same
just the release version slightly diff
i tried 1 by 1 to get it work

i used another called PCWizard from CPU-z

just now recorded down the battery usage
mine is around 12minutes for 6%
logically can last 200minutes full charged
with minimal workload

thats the bad part about having freeDOS
they wont give out driver cds lol

actually all the driver mostly the same
i used the driver mostly from V6000 series

ya can see tons of drivers for vista
finding XP driver is pain in teh arse

so far i am certain that
chipset = intel chipset driver
wifi = broadcom
wired LAN = Marvell Yukon
sound card = Conexant
intergrated graphics = intel 965
nvidia graphics = nvidia drivers lol
bluetooth = Software and Drivers for HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth Wireless

it doesnt means the driver must be in the certain model's driver page
as long the chipset is the same, all drivers can be used

if not mistaken condition zero's requirement quite low actually
somewhere between HL and HL2
so medium setting should be ok
of cos RAM the higher the better

AMD got higher clockspeed but downside is low L2 cache
intel got slight lower clockspeed, but L2 is almost double of AMD's
if you dunno wat is all those stuff, can just ignore it
if you discard the comparison, either amd or intel will do
as for win vista, i will not recommend it, as it still too new and got tons of bugs
if you insist want to use vista, 2gb is recommended
plus install xp in another partition, incase you regret on using vista
if going for xp, depends what kind of tasks you going to do
if just doing assignment, 1gb is more than enuf
like mine i mostly doing 3d rendering, programming and photoshop, so i need 2gb ram

i using this 1

later they will ask you to buy their official master driver CD lol
