The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    How many processes do you have to run in background? Mine is 74 (excluding Firefox). Is it a bit too many?

    Mine is at 56 running processes after a clean install on a 7200 RPM drive and about 10 of those are from third party software after the clean install. You say you have a Merom T5600 in your dv6000 have you checked that with CPU-Z or RMClock? I was hoping for the merom and they gave me a conroe in my current lappy as well as the previous one that they replaced. I've been curious if I would get better battery life and if the infamous whine would not have been present if I got a merom. Just thought I would check.

    It's impossible that they gave you a notebook with a Conroe processor in it.

    Conroe is desktop only.
