    I am curious about the dv6000z series, (6500z, 6700z) with the AMD processor.
    I would like to hear what you think of the model itself...reliability, turions power and multitasking ability, and so forth....also which turion speed you chose as well.
    thanks!

    Like I said, it's just like the "t" system, just with a different processor.

    i have a dv6772nr...it's got the amd turion 2.2ghz gold edition processor. my friend has a 2.2ghz core 2 duo, but mine lappy seems to be more responsive, overall, than his. But then again I have tweaked the crap out of vista, also he uses dreamscene with vista ultimate, and i have home premium(both os's are 64 bit).

    Hi,
    I have the HP dv6255us which is an AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56 (1.8GHz) based model with 2GB and MS Windows Vista Home Premium. Since March of last year, I've had a good experience with it.

    I agree with harpreet1988, tweaking Vista will improve your systems' performance. I followed the MS Windows Vista tweaking guides ( here & here) and noticed my notebook is now much more responsive than before.

    Things I do with my notebook:
    • Browse the web
    • MS Office
    • Create PDF files with CutePDF
    • Photoshop Elements & Flickr
    • Napster & Pandora
    • Miro & Joost
    • MS Windows Media Center w/HD off-the air TV Tuner
    • Make small clips for YouTube
    • Very light gaming (FlatOut2 and PokerStars)
