It should work fine in that settings too... No prob.. i havent tried.... if u wanna play with 1280x 800 with high settings.. i think i can be done if u got 2G ram~

hmm....can try and provide me with the framerates?? you can download the program called fraps over here to check out the framerates www.fraps.com/download.php

think i need to upgrade my warranty pan first before getting additional ram...i already using 1x1gb now.. tongue.gif

yeah,but somehow it always gets screwed up when an online based service is "hacked" tongue.gif

hmm.gif no too sure on that,system seems similiar in speed as before i uninstalled moronnorton.. hmm.gif

yes,it is..(google it tongue.gif ) but if you're already using an antivirus program,you HAVE to uninstall it first sad.gif tried it just now,it requires me to uninstall avast first sad.gif
probably driver error..
doubt it's hardware based,since a simple restart sets it back anew..

i'm guessing its with 1024mb RAM, 120gb hdd?
*
yea...you got that right.. smile.gif


QUOTE(Mgsrulz @ Apr 12 2007, 09:20 AM)
overall,which would be better?
6205 or 6227?
*
i'd say 6205 still an overall winner...the difference between T2250 and T2350 is like just 5% at most... smile.gif but with a slower display card, you'll see the effect when playing games...but those can be covered up by overclocking your display cards....7400 is just slightly faster on its core and ram speed...others are identical..haha


Added on April 12, 2007, 12:26 pmjust wanna ask, any1 of you can access the recovery partition from the POST screen?? i cant...even though they say hit F11

For HP user, you can access the HP designed hi-res wallpapers under the following directory.

C:\SWSetup\BrandIt\Disk1\Bitmap

I dont think my DVDs are the one you need. The default Windows in my DV is Media Center Edition, not Vista. Even though I have Vista, but I am not installing it yet.

Anyway, if you need something informative. I have found something for you.
The following link refer to a Malaysian who is able to extract the HP setting while doing clean install of Windows. It is quite tedious, so do it at your own risk.

The HP notebook formatting guide may be useful for other DV users as well.

The recovery partition is protected by default. I also cant access to it. Do you think you can activate the recovery wizard from Windows? or you dont have the wizard.


Added on April 13, 2007, 12:23 amMy PC recovery wizard is here.

C:\Windows\SMINST

that is the thing, i installed xp...but when i wish to recover back to vista using the thing, it failed....saying its having some error and ask me to contact hp....besides, i've never been able to enter into the recovery menu...damn....think i'm gonna loose my vista partition soon unless some1 can burn 1 copy for me...mgsrulez??

hmm....for me, i called the technical support, and they promised me that i dun need to send it to the service centre, but its been 2 weeks already and they cant solve it...so ended up they ask me to send it to service centre...do you think its worth it?? besides, the problem occured somewhere around your time (within 1 week of purchase)
