If you want to do any kind of audio work with this laptop (ie audio recording, music production etc) using an external interface be sure to get the Original AMD USB filter driver for the Hewlett-Packard website or else it'll be unsuable.

I love my pc but if anyone can help me out on this one I will be very grateful. I love gaming big time so I upgraded my Compaq 615 to 3GB RAM prob comes when I play Fifa 12 it drags to bits. I've reduced graphics and removed vsync but still it aint giving me any joy..

I have a brand Compaq 615, 1GB Ram, Win 7 . I randomly get the Blue Screen reporting a dumping of Physical Memory. The Machine has been back to the PC vendor, twice which they ran CPU, HD and RAM tests. All report OK. They have also replaced RAM to try that. But still the same.

At first I thought it maybe the software I was using being only 32 bit, but seems to make no difference.Any ideas?

n excellent display, light build and good keys. The ports are however too few and their location (side) is a |
somewhat inconviniencing. The price however beats the cons hence its worth it!
