    I found this somewhat suprising article on Reuters:
    http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=technologyNews&storyID=7859982&src=rss/technologyNews

    Basically, it says that HP was not on AMD's initial list of Turion 64 buyers. I wonder if this means that the zv5000z replacement, the zv6000z, will just be running a Mobile Athlon 64 processor, which I hope it's not.

    I was hoping to purchase the zv6000z when it releases if they change the GPU. Using the new Turion 64 processor would be really nice, but I will probably end up buying it anyways as long as the battery life doesn't go down. According to the article, you'll have to buy from Fujitsu($$$), Acer, and Packard Bell if you want a notebook with the newest Turion 64 processor
