even they give u 800mhz RAM, the bundled stick is 667mhz so system will run at 667. u can request for 2GB DDR2 800 stick, remove the bundled 1GB DDR2 667 stick and then add another 2GB ddr2 800 if you want dual channel.
*
what is the advantage of having dual channel? does it make a lot of difference in performance?

oh. so 133/134 is the same price as 125/126? which is better?
*
133/134 is better, the processor is a bit faster (2.0 and 2.1) and you get extra hard disk space(250 and 320). So 133/134 is better ,the processor will make only about 5% increase in performance, but the extra 70 gigs of hardisk space is worth it, and the price is also same. You can see the full specs at http://h50198.www5.hp.com/Store/storeModel.asp?familyid=1770

correct me if i'm wrong....
125AX is using the same mobo as 115AU....and yes 125AX has both graphic card ATI 3200HD and ATI 3450HD....
bcoz ATI 3200HD is built in the mobo ATI 3450HD is just an add on....
u should be able to crossfire it....but HP has disable this feature.... wink.gif

is there any bios update or somethin which we can use to enable crossfire?

I wouldnt dare try to install tongue.gif 

Even on my quad core rig, loading takes up to 1 min on RAID0 drive. Cant even get smooth framerate. With this laptop I gues loading will take few minutes and cant even get more than 20fps because this game is CPU intensive and Turion is a weak CPU.

bro any chance it wil work atleast wit low graphics?
