I've upgraded just about everything that can be upgraded in this machine. This is an expert's notebook, better than it was when
HP delivered it.
Mobile-class Athlon 64 3200+ (CPU fan rarely needs to run, undervolts to 1.225V for near Turion ML power consumption), upgraded from the original DTR-class CPU, applied Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound of course
15.4" 1680x1050 res screen, zero dead pixels, HP doesn't sell screens this nice anymore (too expensive)
64MB nVidia GeForce 4 Go GPU
2GB PC2700 Crucial memory verified with MemTest86+
60GB 7200RPM Hitachi 7K60 HD
12 cell battery, MobileMeter still says 0% wear, 3-4 hours battery life in average use, 3 hours for DVD video
802.11g and Bluetooth
NEC 8X DVD+/-RW DL burner
WinXP Home
TWO power bricks
Ships in original box with original manuals, CDs, etc.
I've done a clean install of WinXP Home with all updates and assorted other goodies (Java, Quicktime, Acrobat, Firefox, etc). I made a Windows install DVD with updates as of February integrated, so if you need to do a clean reinstall you'll have a huge head start. The DVD even has the correct license key preset so you won't have to remember to look for the Microsoft tag on the bottom of the machine.
I can throw in a 64-bit Fedora Core 5 Linux DVD if you like. This notebook is very Linux-friendly.
If my poor eyes hadn't desired a larger screen (HP dv8000z 17") I'd have kept this. I hate to see it go but I've got bills to pay.
FS: HP zv5000z 15.4" 1680x1050 AMD64 LOADED!
