turion x2 65nm is scheduled for may. about the same time with santa rosa.
but still at 31-35w tdp. i guess they going for power instead of battery. do you think both would get implemented by early July? cause planning to get one by that time. do you think i can get a RM2299 with the new chips?  |

so v3218 and v3250 is the same RM2299.
which one to get....? 3218 is with t2050. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel...microprocessors compaq's ad says FSB is 667Mhz, but in truth its 533mhz. pre factory overclock eh? while 3250 comes with geforce6150 which trumps gma950. both processor equally suck. so 3250 wins? someone benchmark pls. |

glossy finish is evil. you'll get a lot of finger print
  the touchpad button is still deep? it doesn't feel like a click but a keyboard button, a push. |

to me, if its cheap. it wins.
 choosing a notebook is different from a DIY desktop. coz it comes as a packeage. you need to look at the overalls, rather than which processor. most people would leave the processor on idle, and use like 30% of its power when in use but if you got money to burn for the next life, sure why not  |

planning to get a v3250 or something similar in the price range.
question is, propably gonna get a 120GB 2.5" HDD with external box. so might as well swap it with the stock 80GB. my benq dude put a void sticker for the HDD, wtf?  so compaq gonna void me too? propably gonna get a 5400rpm seagate or hitachi. any specific recomendation is welcomed oh, the user is going away oversea. so any international warranty? |

how much battery life on v3250? or similar model.
browsing 98 page is...bleh. my brain is not working right, right now, left? //most common wireless chipset is broadcom. but if your book got centrino label, then its all intel chip. This post has been edited by shirohamada: May 14 2007, 04:25 PM |

950 can't play quake3? wow, that bad eh?
my 6150 and 1150 can play quake3, wolfenstein enemy territory to be precise. which is quake 3 engine. at 1024x768. only hiccups is radar map, a lot of grass, so slow down quite a lot, you definitely will get shot first. other maps is very playable. |

QUOTE(<giaNt> @ May 26 2007, 12:17 AM) Wow, didn't expect such quick response. In fact, still googling. Actually, I'll just carry the laptop to shop and test. If can run DDR2 800, buy lor. Otherwise, get DDR2 667. you're doing it wrong. Added on May 26, 2007, 12:21 am Also, guys, I'm sure most of you ran the CPU-Z verification. Does your RAM run @ 333MHz? (suppose to be at this speed as RAM is DDR2 667) I'd check mine, running @ 166.7 MHz only. (CPU/RAM divider is 1/5). Actually, bought this laptop early in February 2007. Somehow, let my sis use it. So, quite unfamiliar with this laptop, yet.   i think thats when its idles, it cut half of the max powahh. try in full load, or when powernow is not in effect. just run video/superpi/etc... |

QUOTE(vexus @ Jun 13 2007, 12:04 AM) i'm frustrated to get a PC. Wanna know more about AMD. I afraid the power consumption is high and the laptop does not last 2.5hr++ you can get 2.5 hours with normal web browsing. cpu intensive such as gaming? no.I wonder is it HP is the best among others? if i buy a v3000 and swap the hdd with bigger one, would i void the warranty? any specific HDD i should look for? i'm planning to get either a v3250 or v3252 then swap with a seagate 120GB. if not i'll use it for a year as external first |

QUOTE(ayrez @ Jun 14 2007, 04:26 PM) anyone ans my ques?plz? open up task manager and take a look at your memory usage. if it never goes up to 700MB, you don't need 2 GB.you might want 2GB with vista. but vista fail is every way. dvd is 8x get a win xp cd. pop it in. get into bios. change boot priority to optical drive. then follow the instructions. |
