Im planning to buy new model Compaq Presario V3417AU

AMD 64x2 2.0ghz
1GB DDR2
120GB HD
other all same with V3415AU
but i wan to know the Nvidia Geforce Go6150 can share up to how many MB of Ram?
according to HP website it say that can share up to 287MB of Ram.
But i had been told buy an expert technician that its only can support max up to 128MB only even its show that can share 256MB or higher coz the bios only can support up to 128MB only.
its true o not?   
can play need for speed carbon o not this display chipset?
thanks very much....

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

With Nvidia 6150.. the 3d benchmark ok ka.? i mean for normal gaming like playing Tiberium Wars and Colin Mcrae DiRT..

since webcam not a neccesity, thats y i chose compaq

pull the clip edy the battery wont pop out

define 'slow', in what application. in normal day to day usage and office work, u won't feel the difference.

all apss no issue, very fast. regarding startup, i cannot say, all depends on your RAM capacity. Mine's smooth & responsive with 2GB.

u ddn't help at all... just want to make ur post count increase...
