    Recently received my dv2000t and have been happy with it so far. However, after looking into the nvidia settings, I am not sure whether or not this card is what HP claims it is. For one, Turbocache does not appear in the card's name within the nvidia menu. Secondly, the card is not supported by any new nvidia drivers for the Go 7 series. If anyone knows anything about this please let me know, otherwise I will have to call HP and figure this out.

    PS. If I decide to return this and get something else, would HP allow me to keep this notebook while the new one is on its way? Reason I ask is that school starts next week and I am going to need it for papers/research/etc.

    All Ge force go cards 7200 - 7600 utilise turbocache technology, but it might not say so in the nvidia settings.

    Although your card does have Turbocache, it is a rather useless technology performance wise.
