I have the Compaq Armada M-700 laptop (PIII 850} and had to get the Speedstep driver from their webite just to get the full speed back again. I haven't had a single lockup or bluescreen with XP though.

I've been a beta tester for years for M$ and the XP program has been the smoothest of all of the OS's so far.

I had to upgrade the bios in the end, still get the odd trouble, would be nice to have control over speedstep like the old intel applet gave you

6000 more points until I get to my next avatar, thats going to be a LONNNNNNNNNNGGGGG way.

NT blue screens are way worse than 95 BSODs. They totally lock up your entire machine, but the 95 ones let you get out of them most of the time.

I'm always running Think.
Doesn't matter what I do (gaming designing etc.) it's always running

Installed it again tonight. If my computer blows up again this time, UD is history. <img src="eek.gif" border="0" alt="" />
