Advisor can help you determine which features of Windows Vista will run on your computer. To
download the tool, visit www.windowsvista.com/upgradeadvisor.
2. This system requires a separately purchased 64-bit operating system and 64-bit software products to
take advantage of the 64-bit processing capabilities of AMD technology. Dual-core processing
available with AMD technology is designed to improve performance of this system. Given the wide
range of software applications available, performance of a system including a 64-bit operating
system and a dual-core processor will vary.
3. Do not copy copy-right protected materials. Intended for creation and storage of your original material
and other lawful uses. Double Layer discs can store more data than single layer discs. Double-layer
discs burned with this drive may not be compatible with many existing single-layer DVD drives and

specifications differ from the draft specifications, it may affect the ability of the notebook to
communicate with other 802.11n WLAN devices.
6. For hard drives, GB = 1 billion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less. Up to 8 GB (for XP) and 10
GB (for Vista) of system disk is reserved for the system recovery software.
7. Shared video memory (UMA) uses part of the total system memory for video performance. System
memory dedicated to video performance is not available for other use by programs.
8. HP Fast Charge recharges your primary battery up to 90% within 90 minutes when the system is off.
9. Sold separately or purchased as an optional feature.
