Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
now I have to go through the belaboring process of configing the perfect model just to have them pull it the day before I purchase. I'm just trying to build a DTR. i don't know why i kill myself over these things.

I HAD the same problem with my R3000 series. Iam now running driver version 1.1.0.0 with no problems now.... I use Rightmark cpu clock Utilty and the cpu will "Throttle" up when a application is started, until a aplication is started it runs at 797 MHz @ 1.100v/Multiplier (fid) 4.0x at full speed it runs at 2198MHz @ 1.55v/Multipler (fid) 11.0x. you must have sent back you laptop already ( Thats just what HP told me to do they said it must be a "Hardware Malfunction" It was just a case of having the wrong driver installed you will also want to download powernow! from AMD.
AMD 64 3400+ 1mb ram and running hard!!

Bobsandefur,
I am running XP64 on this laptop with no problem. The only glitch that I have had is that the wirless button (turns off wireless nic) has no 64bit hardware support from HP. So when you turn it off you cannot turn the nic back on unless you boot into a 32bit OS.
As far as the video goes....
This works for both 32 and 64 bit Microsoft Os's.
HP has a proprietary video card installed in this laptop. Because of that they have thier own vendor ID grained into the video bios. When you try to install the Nvidia drivers it will fail because the HP vendor id is not listed in the INF file for the Nvidia Drivers.
The Fix:
Install HP's drivers and you will then have the following folder on your machine: c:swsetupSP30132
Go into this folder and look for the NVCP.INF file. When you open this file you will have to look for the following tag : [NVIDIA.Mfg]
Under this tag you can copy the 2 lines that you will need in the next step.
Install Nvidia's latest drivers. The installation will fail but you will now have the following folder on your computer: c:
vidia"name of your OS"71.89 (or latest version drivers) In this folder look for the nv4_disp.inf file. When you open this file up you will notice the same tag as the last file [NVIDIA.Mfg]. Paste the two lines from the NVCP.INF file at the end of the list of vendor id's.
Install the Nvidia drivers and you should have no problem.
One more note... (just for fun)
When you install the new drivers the vendor ID from the old INF file will look like this:
%NVIDIA_NV17.DEV_0176.1% = nv4, PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0176&SUBSYS_006D103C
When it goes to install the drivers your video card will be named:
%NVIDIA_NV17.DEV_0176.1%
You can change this part of the line to anything that you want to and it will show up on your system as that name.
For example I changed the line to the following:
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra = nv4, PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0176&SUBSYS_006D103C
Now when I pull up my device manager it shows as a 6800 Ultra.
You can brag to your friends at work if you want to. Just dont pull up the advanced settings for the card because the loaded drivers will give it away.
Have Fun. []
