    First post here :)

    Anyway, HP seems to use nVidia 9600M GTs in the vast majority of their notebooks that you can customize. From what I've read, this GPU is available with DDR2 and DDR3 memory... so how do I know which one HP uses? They don't say, unless I missed it.

    Does anyone know?

    If you're referring to the dv5t, it uses DDR2, as Harper said above.

    has anyone been able to get ntune to work. I tried with 175.53 which resulted on a hard lock bringing up the nvidia control panel.

    how sluggish is it? is it unbearable or something or are you exaggerating? because this seems like great graphics card.

    Well for some reason Ntune wont work on the dv5t just yet, it has sumthing to do with the v62.94.1a.0.18 GPU BIOS.
    I have been trying to figure out a solution for this prb for almost a week now, no joy yet, lets hope for the best.

    k i downloaded the demo on my dv9500t. it works, but just a bit slowly. probably because i have stock drivers and i didnt really play with the settings.

    warhead brings my sli 8800gts setup to a crawl in the snow levels, because of all the particals (snow). crysis will play at medium setting. turn physics off.

    DDR3 isn't really that much better. Just more gimmic to throw into your GPU that can't even use all of it's memory anyways.
