How's the temps/stability on that puppy? I can't wait to play with mine

Now I wish Ive bought 8510w... I guess I will give my new lapp some 2-3 years of life and will get a new one then
300$ in my pocket, still can play Bioshock and probably Crisis and Assasins Creed easly so nothing to worry
-
I doubt you could go higher than that though. The desktop 8600GT's memory chip is capped at 900 and the core's voltage prevents it to be stable higher than 620-650 without a voltmod (Mine is a XFX XXX so it's 1.45v rather than 1.1 so I hit 720/900 stable ).
The 8700GT is just an overclocked 8600 after all. Nvidia just decided to use 8600GS, GT and 8700GT rather than 8500GT & 8600GTS. But the 8700 still have the advantage of 512MB in games -
Does anyone have info on what comes with the 8510p (what's in the box
)? Was there a carrying bag included or do I have to look for one myself?
-
Correct!
-
Yes, this place says it will ship outside the US.

They have both p and w models. Also, I am pretty sure this is where Ackeron got his laptop and he is in Canada as well.
-
In Canada you can buy the business class HPs from www.cendirect.com and www.computers4you.ca. Just use their search function on the site. Have dealt with Cendirect indirectly (hows that for a pun
) thru my company and they're pretty reliable.

That's odd. I didn't receive any reinstallation cd's .. Perhaps they don't do that here in europe
-
I did indeed buy it from shopblt, ship it to Washington state, and bring it back across the border. But brokerage fees shouldn't be more than $100 if you really want it shipped direct from shopblt to you. Conversely you can check out those other websites!

Well the good news is, I'm typing this on my 8510p
The bad news is, my display won't show its native resolution. It doesn't even come up as an option in the display options.
Edit: Fixed it, now everything is running great! HD and RAM install were ridiculously easy. I thought the HD install would be tougher since I had to install windows, but there were no problems. All I had to do was put in the disk and that was it.
Ackeron: You were right, this computer is insanely fast compared to my old one. There's no lag whatsoever. I'll run 3Dmark06 and PCmark05 when I get a chance to see what effects the 3GB RAM (installed 4, but 32 bit OS) and 7k200 do to the scores. I'm guessing not much on the 3Dmark, but maybe increases to the PCmark. -
Good to hear it works! Yeah, I'm glad too. I got an email from I guess a Satisfaction CSR a few days ago and they refunded me 100 bucks for their shipping delays, my lack of confidence with hp, etc. It's nice to see they actually care once in a while!

Well I got 3315 or something way back when I did it before. That was at 1280x1024 running my usual programs, and of course underclocked
Been tweaking around this weekend, did a few game tests. More info soon!
Also ...that's so weird about the CDs. I'm looking at the Vista Business 32 and 64 bit DVDs right now, as well as the HP recovery DVD. -
-
Yup. I got 3dmark03, 05 and 06 working the same way (they wouldn't start before just as you described). Took me a long time to find the fix. Stumbled across this post and decided to register and help.
Go to C:\windows\system32\futuremark\msc
There's a dll file in there (direcpll.dll). Rename it.
3dmark should start w/o any problems.
Hopefully that'll work for you too.
-
Could someone please tell me whether the RAM is easily accessible on the 8510p?. I'm about to place an order tonight for a preconfigured that will come with 1GB -- I'm thinking about upgrading it to a 3GB.
Haven't owned a laptop nor upgraded one before, so I'm a little cautious - but willing.
-
XPP or Vista?
If so I'd highly recommend getting a model which comes with XP. Installing XP on a machine which came with Vista is no fun, let me tell you--even if you wanted to futureproof your laptop by getting Vista so you could use it later (as I did).
-
Yeah, that's the official way to fix it.
Futuremark is aware of the problem and is going to post a patch later.
BTW, you need to do that with ALL versions of 3Dmark for EACH time you install them, so install all the ones you're going to run, and then delete that dll or rename it.
Still can't post the st00pid results though since it sees the drivers as unregistered, and recognized the VPU as 'generic VGA'.
I'm getting 3536 bungholiomarks in 3Dmk06 with a T7300 both 1.5GB and 1GB RAM (3533) w/ 5400Rpm Fujitsu HDD w/ 1GB Robson.
Having a heck of a time now with dedicated OGL benchmarks though like Vulpine, and OZone's Fur though keep getting OGL errors (doesn't even detect the card for FUR). -

Bleh, we don't have many student discounts for laptops in the UK. In fact, the only company I can think of that has a higher education discount scheme in the UK is apple.
HP 8510p available!
