I would not knock HP, at least they changed some nVidia laptop mainboards with ATI ones; think of Dell who keep replacing and *still* selling broken nVidia laptop mainboards with weak nVidia chips as for my laptop.

I'm on my 3-rd mainboard now, any bets on how long this one lasts? I'm so very glad I paid Dell for 3 years warranty, woudn't you say?

Nick....in Europe we use a comma for decimals, not a point.

Indeed people is buying less. Think only of the cartloads of notebook with the defective Nvidia graphics chip that simply die (kindly out of warranty of 1 month or less). Who will ever invest money again in buying something that when declared faulty by the same selling company just gets a bios update to extend the chip life till the warranty expires. Ops HP...
