bought v3614AU last week and traded the stock 512mb for two 1gb kvr pc5300 module, no compatibility problem.. so far no prob.. just feel a bit laggy when compared with my old a643200 desktop with 1gb setup, both on vista ulti.

cheers.

it's using nforce networking controller, driver come with the nforce chipset driver, available @ hp downloads.

have you try to install it manually from device manager ? i had no problem installing sound and modem drivers on my 3614au (winxp)

yeap drivers from page 1 is compatible, follow those instruction on page 1 and you'll be fine

no bleeding issues on mine, maybe you can try to ask your dealer for more info..
if i'm not mistaken less then 1 week can 1 to 1 swap according to the sales from the shop i purchased from.

Added on October 29, 2007, 3:15 amExtract driver which u had downloaded using winrar in to a location eg: c:\driver\audio
press win+pause key to open your device manger,
1, look for device with "?"
2, right click on the device and navigate to properties, from the pop up box select driver, press update driver.
3, do not use auto, specify the driver location (c:\driver\audio) and the os will continue the rest for you.
4, if you do encounter any kind of warning informing you that the particular driver is not signed just ignore it and press "continue"

get what i mean ?

system board over 1k, with 3 month warranty, your old board will keep by hp.

before proceeding make sure you had install modem driver first.

1. prepare the driver, use winrar to extract the driver to a specific folder eg- c:\driver\audio
2. now go to device manager > select the soundcard, select update driver.
3. when u see the hardware wizard pop up choose no and press next.
4. Select advanced and press next(install from a list or specific location)
5. select don't search and choose the driver to install and press next.
6. press have disk and locate the driver which you had extracted earlier eg c:\driver\audio
7. you will see "conexant high defination audio listed on model, select and press next.
8. enjoy your audio.

for my case i'm using driver version 3.30.0.00 Rev A or sp34386 from HP.
