DV6000 series with a gig nic

Short version: my new dv6191 seems to report itself to have a gig nic.

Medium version: At first I had a dv6059, but after I complained that the micophones/sound card weren't doing their job correctly, they took it in for repair. After seven weeks and a lot of messing around (Including telling Mark Hurd (That's president of HP) that I would take legal action against HP) I ended up with a dv6191, a kingston KPEX 100 and a logitech fusion webcam.

Now the dv6191 is an upgrade from a dv6059 but one of the upgrades it doesn't seem to mention anywhere is that the nic now seems to be a gig nic not just a 100BT.

Long version: I'll type that up if some one asks for it!...?


I would like to know if anyone else with a DV6000 series with MCE2005 is also having a nic that is reporting to them as a gig nic?

I'm using sandra to test!

 

Your older model, if it was AMD/Nvidia based should have also had Gigabit ethernet since its standard component with the chipset...

As you can see from the spec for the dv6191...

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...=c00787268&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&dlc=en&lang=en#

It only mentions 100BT.

And the same goes for the dv6059.

Ahh...looks like a common error in their spec sheets. They list the ethernet as 10/100 in mine as well even though it is 10/100/1000...

In any case you get a nic which is capable of faster connection/speeds.
