Could be your battery no more power.. or it won't keep buffer zone in your battery.. lappy turn to standby after batt reach 3% power.. then it should wakeup after you press swith on/off button.

try recharge your batt for long hours and discharge it... if still same.. refer to hp product warranty lor...

It can working fine just without dual channel. Ur 2nd slot ram ll act like temporary worker lo. For example: when 1st worker work till can't tahan liao just continue by 2nd worker nor 2 workers work together like dual channel. Am I right? correct me if providing something wrong. tongue.gif

Dual-channel architecture DDR/DDR2 SDRAM describes a motherboard technology that effectively doubles data throughput from RAM to the memory controller. Dual channel-enabled memory controllers utilize two 64-bit data channels, resulting in a total bandwidth of 128-bits, to move data from RAM to the CPU.

In order to achieve this, the DDR/DDR2 SDRAM memory modules must be installed into matching banks, which are usually color coded on the motherboard. It is not required that identical modules are used, but it is often recommended. One module of 512MB RAM could be installed in bank one and a 1GB module could be installed in bank two. Modules rated at different speeds can be run in dual channel, although the motherboard will then run all memory modules at the speed of the slowest module. Some motherboards however have compatibility issues with certain brands or models of modules when attempting to use them in dual channel mode. For this reason it is generally advised to use identical pairs of memory modules and most memory manufacturers now sell "kits" of matched pair DIMMs. Several motherboard manufacturers only support configurations where a "matched pair" of modules are used. Dual-channel architecture is a technology embraced by motherboard manufactures and does not apply to memory modules. In other words, any matched pair of memory modules may support single and dual-channel operation, provided your motherboard supports this architecture.

Purpose

Graphic illustrating bottleneck between CPU, RAM, and other peripheralsDual channel technology was created to address the issue of bottlenecks. Increased processor speed and performance requires other, less prominent components to keep pace.

The most conspicuous of these parts is the memory controller, which regulates data flow between CPU and the system memory (RAM). The memory controller determines the types and speeds of RAM as well as the maximum size of each individual memory module and the overall memory capacity of the system. There are many memory controller designs; prior to 2003, the most common was the single channel configuration. Among its advantages are its low cost and flexibility. Its ability to produce a bottleneck effect arises when it is unable to keep up with the processor, leaving it with nothing to process while the memory controller is struggling to keep up with the data flow. Under the single channel architecture, any CPU with a bus speed that is greater than the memory speed would be liable to fall prey to this bottle-neck effect.

The dual channel configuration alleviates the problem by doubling the amount of available memory bandwidth. Instead of a single memory channel, a second parallel channel is added. With two channels working simultaneously, the bottleneck is reduced. Rather than wait for memory technology to improve, dual channel architecture simply takes the existing RAM technology and improves the method in which it is handled. While the actual implementation differs between Intel and AMD motherboards, the basic theory stands.

V3K With AMD CPU Plus nVIDIA GC which is far more better than V3k Intel Spec + Intel GC. Since Intel GC are underperformance with current consumer needful.

My vote for V3K AMD CPU..

Yes, u should choose that RAM spec according to what inside ur lappy have.

I realize that new version of V3000 have used 533 mhz also. Due to 667 mhz conflict previously.

I just upgrade 1gb 5300 667mhz ram into my lappy.. cool! it working like other expensive performance i can say. I bought kingston but same chips from Hynix!

never ever regret bought this model! value added for money! but need some technical effort to meet expensive performance!

Actually it depend on how is the person configure this laptop and luck also (Manufacturer Fault).

For me it work well done! Cheap toy but expensive performance for working, studying and gaming purposes... No other model or brand with the same price can match with this laptop specifications. Personally wondering HP can put this price tag to open market! WOW factor!

Eheeemmm.. My Vote For AMD TURION 64 X2! Impressive Me!

there is a funny thing about V3000, after u have connected the power cable, u can on the laptop by repeatly tapping the multimedia key, which is beside the Mute key.

Do you refer to HP Support Center? Maybe your hardware having problem?

Do V3000 can play VCD/DVD without turn on the computer?

AMD Turion 64 X2 is much faster.. From my knowledge GeForce GO 7300 is much better compare to Intel GPU. Pls don't choose intel GPU.. u will regret!

ViVA AMD!!!!!! Tested Performance!

do you have any article to proof your saying since it's just your 2 cents? not doubting you but just need some concrete answer... smile.gif  i heard from some one that Intel is better and faster then AMD.. that y im confused, traditionally AMD is faster, but i've been off the market for sometimes now and not sure how it's like now.. that y need some expert out there to give some comment.. how about heat wise? AMD should be hell lot hotter right?
*
Since AMD introduced Turion 64 X2 (Pure Dual Core) + Mobile Technology, it was eleminated overheated issue. As i experiences it now. Don't expect it cool like 'ICE' smile.gif... CPU used to be hot... not to be frozen!

One thing that AMD can't matched Intel is a Battery Power Consumptions which is i feel that AMD sucking it faster compare to Intel. At least V3000 (AMD) can use about 2-3 hours on batt power supply anyway and it was acceptable still.

Performance wise... AMD is yummy! Lazy to type o..le..dy..

Hope other sifu can add in or comment on this..

Cheers!

OK here is the catch!!!!!

Ever heard Intel GPU good at 3D games.... C'mon history guys!!!!!
basically Intel GPU suckkked at it!!! Past Present and FUTURE too!!!!
they have D3D and OpenGL but the level Intel GPU support is relatively low and the tweak they offer is limited!!!! and GAMES CANT SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont believe me try it lah!!!!

now Ever heard Nvidia and ATi Sucked at 3D CARDS!!!!!!!!! no rite!!!!

Nvidia and ATi is the Dominant Player on 3D GPU!!!!
they rock from Day one!!!! and they continue to rocks!!!!!!!!
simple!!!! comparison!!!

Both iGPU and nGPU try install say some HIGH 3D GAMES!!! erm.....

QUAKE4 or NFS Carbon!!!! difference can immediately seen!!! cause!!!

intel GPU can only run on software render mode while!!!
nVidia GPU Running on Hardware OpenGL mode!!!

although performance is abit on the low side (BUDGET$$$)
hey atlease U can RUN the game!!!

Intel some games cant even allowed you to run!!!!
they just prompt a Box say "Biliener or Antalising OPENGL card required"

hahahah then U will bang your head against the wall!!!!! cause U cant change no more!!!!!!!!!!!
*
Yeah...! You're absolutely right! I used to play NFS carbon with NVIDIA 6150.. The result is great no hang at all.. Loading time also fast enough.. Details graphis so smooth.. Like i said before V3... AMD+NVIDIA Spec is yummy... Even it's the best spec at best price item in cheap lappy category on market currently.

DELL AMD Spec also not bad for your info but i just doubt on ATI 1150 performances. Still more trust NVIDIA capabilities, cause i was tested NVIDIA already and appreciated!

CHEERS!

128 built in and 128 turbo cache?

As i know, GPU shared the memory. It will increase the value automatically according to your RAM value.
