i've never tried this with that little memory. keep in mind the xpress 200m graphics uses shared memory (borrowed from the 256MB main memory). i suppose u will get a problem unless u upgrade the memory by at least 256MB to 512MB.

Well, It depends on your budget actually. Look, I'll give you the clear picture. I had a Compaq 1.6 Ghz Centrino laptop.\nWhen I tried to run NFS Underground, i mean, it worked normally. Not too fast. And in addition to that, even the normal speed was low and it used to hang much frequently. \nThen, I bought an HP Compaq AMD Turion laptop 1.6 Ghz, the same speed, but with different processors. As you must be knowing AMD Turion comes with 64 bit technology, which I feel, provides nearly the double speed. Being just 1.6 Ghz, my Turion laptop works extremely fast..i mean, there's no problem. For the games, like, I installed NFS Most wanted, and it was running normally too.\nSo, concluding, I'd like to tell you that, either go for an AMD Turion 64 or you can have your second option as Intel Core Duo Processor.\nThen, you maybe thinking of a good laptop company. Well, I think that HP/Compaq is the best in providing after sale services and support. And maybe, you can also for dell.\nIf you want looks and portabilty, go for Sony vaio. But, i don't recommend vaio as they lay more emphasis on looks than perfomance.

It has a Nvidia GeForce Go 6150 (up to 128MB shared). if you choose the one with Intel CPU (Core [2] Duo) you can have a better graphics card, the GeForce Go 7200 with dedicated ram. Go to the HP website and configure it yourself.\nhttp://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks&a1=Usage&v1=Entertainment&series_name=dv2000t_series

I have an HP at my job that was having some trouble and it was hard for even the IT people to get info/parts on it. It was a modified ASUS board made for HP apparently. The beeps usually are Video errors or RAM errors. If you switch RAM and still have a problem the motherboard is probably toast. This model sounds pretty old, time to upgrade anyways.

Here is a fairly detailed website from the year 2000. It might be closer to the old components that you will be using:\nhttp://www.sharkyextreme.com/hardware/guides/build_computer/\nGood luck! It will be a learning experience for all!

intel865GSAL is not compatible with windows vista \nhave no idea about the compatibility or graphic memory of this m/b  \nbut its definitely not compatible

I wouldn't recomend PCI port for high end gaming like oblivion.  Try using an AGP port if you have one, or a PCI-express, if not then you should try an nvidia card, maybe the 256mb geforce 6200, it runs on PCI, but you're gonna sacrifice a lot of graphics.

if you would ask me, 230$ video card for a computer like this (especially with dead CPU like yours, sorry)  is a waste of money. all you need is something to have directX 9 on it, just get sub 200$ ATI radeon because it is better than GeForce for games that do not use Doom 3 engine ( the matrix online does not); and saved money you can better spend on new hard drive or ice cream, which ever you prefer.  \ndo not spend too much money on this computer, it is already too old, you can not win by buying old parts for old computer that will need to be upgraded in 6 month or so; better start saving for a new machine all along, and tell your mom I told you so :)\nGood luck.

It is a painful exercise. Follow the steps in the Maintenance and Service Guide for the HP Pavilion zv6000 Notebook PC. You can find it here:\n\nhttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?lc=en&cc=us&dest_page=prodinfoCategory&tool=prodinfoCategory&product=468790&dlc=en&#\n\nI recommend downloading all the manuals on the site, then copy them to CD so you will always have them (even if your laptop's drive crashes).

Decayingmind is right. More than the processor speed, you need to find out what video card you have since most modern video card have their own hardware so they unburden the processor. Another big issue is the ram, you should have at least 1GB ram for most games. Lastly, it will depend on the game more than anything else. For example, FEAR is a game which I played but did not enjoyed fully due to its severe restrictions on compatibility. This happens for games that use the latest programming tools to make them look better. Unfortunately, FEAR's option for the people that did not have the specific hardware was having the game rendered in what looked like a Commodore 64 (very old graphics) computer. Doom on the other hand tried to get the best of using graphics but giving better options for the people that did not have all the hardware and hence it was very playable even without meeting its requirement. In any case, I would also recommend that you check out forum boards or support boards where people will usually complain about compatibility issues. Good Luck!

How much Kingston RAM have you got?\n\nSystem looks OK but 2008 is a long time away so it will probably be ok but no promises.\n\n///
