    There is confirmation from one of the laptoplogic forum member.
    He is using Turion MT in his nx6125 and there are no problems.

    Since all the hardware is same, I am guessing even V2000z and L2000 should be able to take Turion MT. Ofcourse bios might be different, but I still think it would not be problem.

    That doesn't look definitive. He says it should work, not that he tried it, if I'm reading that correctly. Yes, it should work, but PowerNOW! might break like it did on my zv5000z when I replaced the DTR-class chip with a Mobile-class chip. (Which, since I'm undervolting with CrystalCPUID, is irrelevant under Windows but it's annoying under Linux.)

    He is actually using it. It is not a guess. Initially someone said it should work, but this guy has already using with Turion MT, please check entire thread.

    Ah, now I see it. Cool. It sounds like HP is getting a little better about maintaining their BIOSes.

    Perhaps they are planning to move to the MT's soon. :)
