And I clearly remember I got the laptop 1 year later after my mom died... (there no way I'll forget the day my mom died...)
And I clearly remember that the date my mom died was 6:23pm, 12-26-2005...

So I guess it means I got my laptop somewhere between 2005 - 2006. (might be near the end of 2006)

Or... when I bought this laptop... I receive it from the future?... LOL...
(cause with all these talks... it seems that my laptop either... have a graphic driver that's not suppose to be on the laptop OR the date that I got my laptop, the graphic driver wasn't invented yet...)

The rest of our configuration included 2GB of fast 667MHz RAM; two 100GB, 5,400rpm hard drives; and an Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 graphics card with 256MB of dedicated VRAM. This configuration, with the 2GHz Core 2 Duo T7200

Seems it is a 7600 card and maybe somebody is trying to BS you with a bogus lable or sales talk. Simply put your model was released as well as all dv9000 units with a 7600 invida.

Tho... I just noticed now... the T7200 is the processor and not the graphic... see my screen shot
But even with that... my processor is of T7500... that's 300 more...

OK hear is the gist of it.


The Nvidia 8600m gs was released around 09.06.2007.

Making it impossible for you to have bought that notebook in the time period you specified.

Also your laptop the Hp Pavillion DV9500 was release around 2 years ago.

No offense, but your memory is really off. The hp DV9500 was released summer 2007. You got the right laptop, since the parts you specify match the specs for the DV9500, but you certainly did not buy it when you think you remember buying it.

Back on to Windows 7... I have it, installed it last night (Ultimate 64bit version), and so far I have to say I like Vista's interface better. I'm not too fond of what they did with the taskbar, but I guess that's just my personal opinion. Wish they would have left at least the ability to use the old style Quick Launch Toolbar, but that's gone completely now

That and the fact that the gadgets dock on the desktop now with the sidebar removed, and they don't behave when I extend my desktop onto my HDTV. At least the sidebar in Vista kept them locked in place, now they like moving around

Other than that, all my programs are working fine, I have tried a few eroge and they are all working fine so far too, even some old ones. Haven't tried any of Illusion's titles yet though, will get around to that in the next few days.

No 'Designed for Windows Vista' or 'Designed for Windows 7' stickers on my PC... gonna have to make a 'Designed by KonoHentai for KonoHentai' on it since I built it from parts myself:

Antec Twelve Hundred Ultimate Gamer Case
AMD Phenom II X3 Black Edition running 3.5GHz, 1.424v
Scythe Kama Angle CPU Cooler (27°c Idle, 34°c typical heavy load)
Asus M3N78-Pro AM2+ Motherboard (Going to replace soon with an AM3 board, hoping to unlock the 4th core on my Phenom II)
4GB Mushkin HP26400 RAM (DDR2 800, rated 4/5/4/11@2.1-2.2v)
XFX GeForce GTX275
1x 1TB WD Caviar Green (Storage/Backup)
1x 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 (Primary)
1x 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 (Backup)
LG SATA 22x DL Lightscribe SecurDisk DVD Burner
Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum Pro Sound
Creative Gigaworks s750 7.1 Channel 700W Speakers
Samsung Syncmaster T240, 24" Widescreen LCD
OCZ GameXStream 600W Power Supply
Logitech Trackman Wheel
Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard
Wacom Intuos 2 9x12 Professional Tablet
Total cooling fans: 6x 120MM Blue LED Case Fans, 2x 120MM Fans on the CPU Cooler, 1x 200MM Blue LED Fan on top.

The Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 drives have to be the worst line of hard drives in the history of computers (even worse than the IBM Deathstar drives). I got a new 7200.12 today because of an instant product replacement warranty I purchased on an original 7200.11 drive: 1st drive died 1 year ago (within a few weeks of purchase), brand new replacement 7200.11 died a couple of weeks ago. No questions asked at all when I took the second dead drive back to the to store today. They didn't even bother testing it, the guy was like: 'dead Seagate 7200.11? Here's your replacement', and since the 7200.11 drives were no longer in stock they gave me a 7200.12 drive instead. I asked if they'd give me WD drive as a replacement instead, but no luck

I replaced my 2x Barracuda 500Gb with 2x WD Clavier Black 1TB
The difference in performance and stability is VERY HUGE with my real life experience.
No more Seagate...

From my experience with the Seagate drives is that they are exceptionally fast drives when they are working, problem is keeping them working for any significant length of time. Sustained large file transfer rates between the two Barracuda drives goes up past 100MB/s, which is very fast for SATA drives.

I bought the first 7200.11 drive summer last year (that drive still works fine, knocks on wood) and was very pleased with the performance of it, so I decided to pick up a second one in October... that drive was the same as the first performance wise, but like I said... dead just a matter of 3 weeks from the day I purchased it. It was around the time my first one died that reports of problems began springing up on the drives, but I didn't find that out until sometime around January or so this year when I stumbled on several ~1000 post topics in Seagate's forums about problems with the drives. After reading DOZENS of posts from people that went out and bought 4 or more of the drives at once and having 75% of them fail within 1-2 months, I went out and bought the 1TB WD Caviar Green to use as a backup drive the next day. I just went with the green because it sits idle way more often than in use, because I use it to store mostly large files (anime, eroge, etc). For a low power, 5400RPM 'Green' drive it's actually decent for speed (sustained large file transfers of 60MB/s).

It was January this year when Seagate dropped their warranty on their hard drives from 5 years to 3 years, no surprise considering the catastrophic failure rate of their 7200.11 drives.

No more Seagate for me either, at least for several years anyway. Seagate _is_ a good company, and they've had some of the most reliable and trusted HDD's in the history of computing (SCSI Cheetah drives), so I'm sure they're get their act back together at some point, but the Barracuda 7200.11 drives certainly were an epic failure. WD was the same in the mid-late 90's with massive product recalls and high failure rates of drives, so I avoided their drives like the plague until recently. They're making good drives now, some of the best in the consumer market, so all hope isn't lost on Seagate yet.

well im using windows 7 rc 7600 and works fine in the midle pc 2gb ram 2gf 8800gtx intel17cz and works fine the wifi works great, but im still searching for a compatible programs, i can found all the drivers at begin , but all is installed correct camera, tvcapture card, video card wifi and others , the installation was maded in 15 minutes fast!!!!!, ut the compatibility is totally insane , pew only least vr of soft work , bywwe

Just saw the commercial for their "Performance" anti-freezing...

Yea... the girl was only running 4 browsers.

3 text browsers with no Tabs in it.
And
1 Video browser...

Yea... with only that, of course you'll not get any freezing..

Try at least 14 browsers (and that's a minimum I am using right now)
Haven't even turn on my game yet too... LOL

Screenshot:

Spoiler

Microsoft should seriously make better commercials that actually address the real problems and not using only the bare minimum they think it's the problem...
At least use 3+ browsers with at least 3+ tabs in them.
Put 1 video file on, 1 game file on.
Don't say there's no freezing until you test it with a game... cause games requires a lot of processor and ram to run. (not to mention graphics) - not talking about web-brower or 2D/ 2.5D games, but games like WoW, Perfect World, AION, etc.

And we already got at least 1 person that posted in this forum stating they were testing it and they did get a freeze.
It's back to more work for Microsoft... LOL Guess that MAC commercial was actually right...

[sailabc1]

I sometimes do use IE with 10+ tabs on, and every IE tab is a seperate exe in IE 8. No slowdowns.
