    I went to the CPQ (Compaq) website listing of the laptops and got the spreadsheet of choices, however when clicking on the R3000 Athlon64 model, it forced me over to the HP laptop choices, and none of them were Athlon64 chipsets.

    something wierd is going on there.

    they need to keep their act together.

    hey, where are the DVD/RW models?

    where are the WUXGA models? (1920x1600)

    anybody from HPW (Hewlett Packard Compaq) paying attention here?
