    Hi,
    Considering the updated dv2000t release, Im wondering whether HP will release a dv2000z with an upgraded graphics card - go 7200 or go 6200 with turbo cache. That will be the best for running the windows Vista aero and this laptop can be a vlue for money with 64 bit support.
    Will the current option go-6150 , not having any video ram, can display aero glass ? Please comment..

    Yes, the 6150 can do Aero Glass. It's not as weak as the Intel GPUs so the dv2000z doesn't have as much need for a dedicated GPU as the dv2000t does. Even then, the Intel GMA950 is supposed to be able to handle Aero Glass but I have far more trust in nVidia's drivers than Intel's.

    It would be nice if HP offered a Go 7200 option in the dv2000z anyhow though.

    If you don't mind the larger size, the new 15.4" dv6000z has the Go 7200.

    Well, see Sony Vaio SZ2,; with Nvidia go 7400, it is still able to give 3 hours of battery.!! cool.. HP, what r u doing with 2000z ??

    Performance wise, is there considerable difference in permance between Go 6150 and Go 7200 ? How much dedicated memory is used by 6150, if there is any ?
