Re: HP Pavilion serrie DV6700

Although the poster doesn't say, the dv6700t is Intel and the dv6700z is AMD.

However he does say it's a Core 2 Due, which of course is Intel. So 
I'm wondering then why would one install debian with the AMD version?

On a related issue, I'm looking at the dv9700t and wondering how does 
the T8300 chip stack up? Is it quick or lagging? I'm thinking about 
the next step up, the T9300, which has 6M L2 cache instead of 3M L2 
cache of the T8300.

The 17" has room for two hard drives. Has anyone set up dual booting 
on such a machine?
