Chipset Mobile Intel PM965 with 800-MHz front side bus
Intel Centrino with vPro
technology capable
Intel Centrino with vPro technology is a selectable feature that is available on units configured with an
Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN or 4965AG. It provides advances in remote manageability, security,
energy efficient performance, and wireless connectivity. Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) offers
built-in manageability and proactive security for networked notebook PCs, even when they are powered
off* or when the operating system is inoperable. It can help identify threats before they reach the
operating system, isolate infected systems, and update PCs regardless of their power state.
*Requires a Windows operating system, network hardware and software, connection with a power source,
and a direct (non-VPN) corporate network connection which is either cable or wireless LAN.
NOTE: Some functionality of Intel Centrino Pro and vPro technology, such as Intel Active Management
technology and Intel Virtualization technology, requires additional 3rd party software in order to run.
Availability of future "virtual appliances" applications for Centrino Pro and vPro technology is dependant
on 3rd party software providers. Compatibility with future "virtual appliances" and Microsoft Windows
Vista operating system is yet to be determined.

DVI port in optional HP Docking Station (sold separately)
supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 for single-link DVI monitors and up to
2560 x 1600 for dual-link DVI monitors.
NOTE: Resolutions are dependent upon monitor capability, and resolution and
color depth settings.
Memory Standard 1024-MB, 2048-MB, 4096, or 8192-MB 667-MHz DDR2 SDRAM; two SODIMM
slots supporting dual channel memory
Maximum Upgradeable to 8192-MB with 4096-MB SODIMM in slots 1 and 2
Dual-channel Maximized dual-channel performance requires SODIMMs of the same size and
speed in both memory slots.
NOTE: Due to the non-industry standard nature of some third-party memory modules, we recommend HP
branded memory to ensure compatibility. If you mix memory speeds, the system will perform at the lower
memory speed. Full availability of 8 GB of memory requires Windows Vista Business 64-bit or Linux. With
Windows 32-bit operating systems, the amount of usable memory is dependent upon your configuration,
so that above 3 GB all memory may not be available due to system resource requirements.
Communications Integrated Intel Gigabit Network Connection (10/100/1000 NIC)*
56K V.92 modem**
* The term "10/100/1000" or "Gigabit" Ethernet indicates compliance with IEEE standard 802.3ab for
Gigabit Ethernet, and does not connote actual operating speed of 1 Gb/s. For high-speed transmission,
connection to a Gigabit Ethernet server and network infrastructure is required.
** Designed for downloads from 56K modem compliant sources. Maximum achievable download
transmission rates currently do not reach 56 KB/s, and will vary with line conditions. Modem availability is
subject to country regulatory approval.

memory slots are user accessible. Please refer to the Hardware and Software Guide for installation
procedures. Maximized dual-channel performance requires SODIMMs of the same size and speed in both
memory slots.

NOTE: This chart does not represent all possible memory configurations. Due to the non-industry standard nature of some third-party
memory modules, we strongly recommend using only HP branded memory modules to ensure compatibility. If you mix memory
speeds, the system will perform at the lower memory speed. Full availability of 8 GB of memory requires Windows Vista Business 64-
bit or Linux. With Windows 32-bit operating systems, the amount of usable memory is dependent upon your configuration, so that
above 3 GB all memory may not be available due to system resource requirements.
