i Just bought the compaq presario V3412TU intel core duo 2.0 with 2GB ram up yesterdat. before i getting this i was planning to get the AMD 64 X2 TL-56 1.8GHZ version, but after go though all the researched and hands on testing....the performance for the AMD core compare to intel is not as good as what those review has been told in those lappies review website ( i m not buyers to Intel or AMD ) since this threat open discussion for this presario v3000 series i just tell what i had seen and feel, the GO6150 with the 256 Memory actully cause the system with the heavy load when during gamming, while you playing DOTA, at another side using MS word 2007 to do your typing thingy. both are actully not very heavy weight program but when gamming it will effect the whole machine. but CP v3000 is not for gamming usage....it use to watch movie and surfing is far enough for this series......if ppl would like to game on the laptop kindly get HP pavilion the 5000 - 6000 series if not mistaken. with the Nvidia 7600++ GC build. the AMD core has many problem that cant actully fix as what you all mention above, mayb the core not really mature for mobile solution(correct me if i m wrong), the only thing good for AMD is save power, very power efficient. that all i can said for this AMD V3145 model....but i m happy with the spec and performance for my assignment, lightweight gamming (POP game), watch movie, and so on.....HP has the great ever laptop for this......100% you wont regret. you paid extra to get HP/compaq lappies. compare to acer those plastic seriously.......no eye see

friends dont ever mention this kind of game play on this NGO6150 - cos this notebook is not for high extream gamming.....even we play on desktop with the Nvidia 7000 seies GC also laggy with the 1200 x 1024......with the medium setting. for DIRT totally not need to said.....cant even support on it. with the sound card.....and graphic card...even you mange to install when you launch the game will hang after the gam start at the menu screen. but this is DIRT compatible problem not the notebook problem.
