I just found out from some dealer.......
Cause the XP cannot support the PUMA platform....due to the hybrid system......
Which all the new compaq CQ for AMD series is running.........

I did confirm that CQ40-125AX is using 780 series chipset.
But, the Driver from HP still cannot fully support the Hybrid function......so have to wait for them......


Even if you got the driver from the net.......it sure to have problem after awhile.......
like blue screen, system hang, auto restart...........



YES........just bought the Compaq CQ40-125AX on Friday.....from C-zone....

Got it very cheap price......cause I know the owner personally.....only mark up RM11 from the Actual Cost.


This a great Notebook........

Installed VISTA ULTIMATE 64bit............prepare to upgrade to 4GB RAM..........now only 2GB RAM.

Anyhow, it's a very solid & stylish notebook compare to Dell.......(which my friend works there.....they call HELL)
I used to own 2 of it before......Inspiron 1410 and Vostro 1400.

FYI, notebook profit for dealer is between RM50 to RM150....depending......system......
If they can get profit more than RM150.......they will celebrate for the whole day.......
Believe me.....cause I in IT industry.......



Well.....My CQ40-125AX.....runs very smooth........better than XP.....

No extra add on.....just total 2gb 667mhz RAM.....
