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.

HP Privacy Filter support
External Up to 32-bit per pixel color depth
VGA port supports resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 at 75 Hz, and lower resolutions at up to 100 Hz
HDMI 1.2 port supports direct connection to high-definition displays with up to 1920 x 1080 resolution and 7-channel audio with one convenient cable (not included).
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.

MemoryStandard1024-MB, 2048-MB, or 4096-MB 667-MHz DDR2 SDRAM; two SODIMM slots supporting dual channel memory
MaximumUpgradeable to 4096-MB with 2048-MB SODIMM in slots 1 and 2
Dual-channelMaximized 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 4 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

667-MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Two DIMM slots supporting dual channel memory
DIMM sizes supported: 1024 MB, 2048 MB
 

Standard Memory

  • 1024 MB (1024 MB x 1 or 512 MB x 2)
  • 2048 MB (2048 MB x 1 or 1024 MB x 2)
  • 4096 MB (2048 MB x 2)

Optional Memory Upgrades

Support for up to 4096 MB of memory with the installation of optional DDR2 SDRAM memory kits. Both 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 4 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.
