I just like to know can CQ40-125AX support DDR2 800mhz 4gb (2x 2gb)?
Cause just now I went to a dealer and tested with DDR2 667mhz 4gb (2x 2gb),
can be detect by the bios.
Not sure it can be use on actual vista.
I am very interested to get 1 but worry that can't support 4gb ram (DDR2 800mhz).
This morning, I tried calling the customer service, (sounds like mat salleh)
he claim CQ40-125AX can support 4gb.
But, later I wanted to buy online.
I check with the sales rep from HP.
She said cannot.........
Now, i really confused................
Anyone, please help to clarify this matter.
Thank you
Confirmed 4GB DDR667 is fully functioning, been running vista 64bit for 2 days now, very stable, no blue screen, crashes whatsoever.. Nice!
Anybody got test 4GB DDR800 yet?

I played CS:Condition Zero at 1280x800 and it's quite sharp and smooth.. not bad for light gaming.. tried to play a 8GB H264 video and it's a bit laggy, could be because of the unoptimized video drivers on my platform.. hopefully ATI comes out with better drivers soon!
All in All, I'm very satisfied with the laptop, considering the relatively cheap price and good performance, and it works flawlessly with 64 bit Windows as well. The only slight issue is the noticable heat & the relatively low battery life, but then again, nothing in this world is perfect~!!
