    Hey all,
    I am from Denmark, and I am currently in a biiiiig problem. I want to buy this laptop: hp pavilion zv6248 - running on a athlon 64 3200+ , 1024 mb ram. 80 gb harddisk, ati radeon xpress 200m - 128 MB graphics card. (dvd writer, blabla). I want some advice on this matter: I am a bit worried about the processor and the graphic card. Is the processor gettin` too hot, so the fan will work too much ? I've already had some unhappy experiences regarding the heat using an athlon xp at 2,2 on a Packard Bell. And I will be working with graphics on this one (flash, photoshop), will the laptop be able to match to these requirments, and maybe from time to time a "need for speed most wanted" using at least 800x600 resolution?

    Thanks.

    Maybe you should move this post into the hardware section...

    If you would like a cooler CPU, an Pentium M would be a good choice. There are reviews for the zv6000 in the reviews section.
