Kingston RAMBUS CONTINUITY RIMM

Product Description

Kingston Technology manufactures a continuity module, KVR-CRIMM, for use in Direct Rambus RIMM Module configurations. The serial nature of Direct Rambus RIMM technology requires that all memory expansion sockets be occupied in order to complete the transmission line to the termination resistors. For example, a three socket configuration where only two Direct Rambus RIMM modules are used would require the use of one continuity module. Continuity and RIMM modules can be mixed in any order. All signal and control traces are matched for length and all traces on the continuity board are impedance matched to 28 ohms.

Designed for fast access to your entire entertainment library, the HP Pavilion dv6425us notebook PC is a great choice for both families and business travelers on the go. The 15.4-inch high-definition BrightView display looks good even in direct sunlight, and you'll enjoy movies or music in seconds with the external DVD or music buttons to launch HP QuickPlay (which bypasses the boot process). Control playback settings from up to 10 feet away with the included HP remote, then store it conveniently in the Express card slot. Easily manage your digital photo library and share with friends and family using the included HP Photosmart Premier software. This stylish laptop also features a high-gloss, durable HP Imprint finish with an inlaid wave design.

Optimized for mobile performance, it's powered by the 1.9 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 dual-core processor, which offers 64-bit computing capability and higher throughput for simultaneous computing tasks. This notebook also features a 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB of installed RAM (2 GB maximum), built-in 54g Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g), 8x multi-format/dual-layer DVD+/-RW drive (with LightScribe printing), ExpressCard slot, and NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 video/graphics card. It also has an integrated 1.3-megapixel WebCam (and integrated microphone), enabling easy video conferencing via VoIP and video IM chats.

It comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you'll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

The Basics

Processor: The 1.9 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 processor offers a dual-core architecture, which delivers additional computing resources to help expand your PC's capabilities by providing higher throughput and simultaneous computing--increasing your performance by up to 80 percent. You'll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly thanks to the innovative Direct Connect Architecture. And it's designed to handle simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. You'll enjoy long battery life thanks to the AMD PowerNow! power management technology, which delivers performance on demand and can extend system battery life up to 65 percent. And the AMD Digital Media XPress technology delivers stellar multimedia performance and playback on digital entertainment such as games, streaming video and audio, DVDs, and music.
Each processing core has a 512 KB L2 cache (for a 1 MB total), and this processor can deliver up to a 1600 MHz system bus for lightning quick computing reflexes. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
Hard Drive: The 160 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of over 26,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
Memory: The 1 GB of installed RAM (2 x 512 MB) is a good start, but you'll want to add more RAM to handle today's demanding multimedia and productivity suites. This notebook has a 2 GB maximum RAM capacity (2 x 1 GB). Also, to receive the benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
DVD/CD Drive: This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 4x DVD-R DL Write Once, 2.4x DVD+R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R, 4x DVD+RW, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD-RW, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM speeds.
This LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive lets you laser-etch silkscreen quality text and images on to CDs and DVDs . Your software, PC and discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels you want. After you burn content, just flip the disc over, reinsert and burn your label--anything from a simple title to a full-disc work of art.
Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 101-key keyboard and a touchpad with on/off button and dedicated vertical/horizontal Scroll Up/Down pad. It also includes two quick-launch buttons (HP QuickPlay Music and DVD).

Screen, Video & Audio
You'll enjoy razor-sharp graphics and widescreen movies with the 15.4-inch WXGA high-definition screen, which displays an 18 percent larger picture than standard 15-inch screens and offers up to an 18 percent improvement in contrast ratio. It has a widescreen resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels--perfect for watching DVD movies the way they were meant to be seen. Video is powered by an integrated Nvidia GeForce 6150 graphics/video card with up to 287 MB of shared video memory. It features NVidia's PureVideo technology--which provides great picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for video content--and full support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 for stunningly realistic cinematic effects for all DirectX-compatible applications. It also offers an integrated audio card and built-in Altec Lansing speakers.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
This notebook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34 card slot (though no standard PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. You get a good offering of connectivity options:

3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
1 VGA monitor port
1 S-Video port for connecting to a TV
1 ExpressCard 54/34
2 headphone jacks (1 with S/PDIF digital audio compatibility) and 1 microphone jack
1 notebook expansion port 3 (for use with the HP xb3000 Expansion Base or the HP Notebook QuickDock)
1 consumer IR (infrared)
5-in-1 memory card reader (Secure Digital, MultiMedia, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, xD Picture Card)

It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

Operating System
Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for users with advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center for watching DVD movies and accessing your digital audio library. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect via Wi-Fi.

Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail. All editions of Windows Vista include new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures long before you have lost any important personal data. And, all Windows Vista editions include parental control features that allow you to manage and monitor your family's use of games, the Internet, instant messaging, and other activities.

Customer Reviews:

DV6458SE - pile of junk.......2007-12-11

I bought this computer with high hopes. So far, it's been nothing but a disappointment. I've had nothing but trouble with the wireless card, as well as the ethernet card. After 2 months of frustration, I've finally shipped the unit back to HP for repairs. I am giving the thing to my nephew. I am getting another Sony.

Reliablity and Speed.......2007-11-20

I purchased this elsewhere just before school started, at a deep discount. I have to say I have no real gripes. The sound is excellent and the screen is one of the nicest screens I've ever seen on a laptop (seen hundreds). Now there are a few minor things that annoy.

For one, I am OCD when it comes to fingerprints. This laptop seems to attract them more then anything ive used, especially on the lid. Another minor grip is the fact that the battery lasts on average 1.5 hrs for me. I read the crappy battery life is common among this model. Highly reccomend picking a a 9-cell.

great looks and performance is good.......2007-11-14

good looks, and awesome screen, however, if you touch it, the fingerprint is there until you really rub it off (can only see fingerprint if light is shining on the screen directly)-can see fingerprints very easily all around machine. great keyboard and volume control on the top. vista is not so good-annoying-kills battery life-slows computer down. battery stinks- maybe 1 1/2 max-w/ power saver, screen down to no brightness and performance at lowest possible.tons of grippes on bottom-2 headset jacks-comes w/ a lot of junk-hd only 140gb even though they say 160gb-graphic card not so good-easy on/off switch for wireless

all around it is a wonderful laptop-would strongly suggest it

I'm happy with it.......2007-10-20

I brought this as a package with a printer and bag. It has a 160 gig drive with 2 gig memory. The screen is excellent, Vista Premium Home actually works quite well on it and it runs as fast as XP did on my previous one with 1 gig memory. Not too much 'crapware' included either. DVD burns quickly. Only fault I have found is the top does not actually lock into place. Very stange feature to lack in a notebook.

Complete review for model DV6425.......2007-10-16

This is a review for the DV6425 US model. First, let me point out some sweet details:

Design: Beautiful laptop, HP's fine imprint finish is really nice, and the Piano Black Color is elegant, it always gets looked at in public places.

Screen: Simply perfect display. Really good resolution and colors.

Media navigation: The keys on the keyboard for media accessing are simply excellent, it's like an ipod, you just need to put your finger on the play button without pressing and it starts playing, same for volume control, just slide your finger from one side to another. Really nice detail.

Now, let's talk about the tech specs.

Processor: Really good. Performance could be compared to a Pentium IV with 3.72Ghz of speed. Its dual core processors make multitasking really easy and smooth. I would REALLY recommend getting this model instead of the DV6426 with Intel, because this is a 64 bit processor, and with time, when theres enough 64 bit software, this laptop will be a bullet, while the Intel one, with its 32 bit processor will stay behind.

RAM: If you install Windows XP and get rid of Vista, the 1GB that comes with the laptop is more than enough. However, considering that Vista uses OVER 500MB of Ram just for the OS, trying to play games at the same time is really hard, because it sucks most of the RAM memory. If you plan on playing a lot on this, get either XP or 2GB of ram for 80 bucks (use the kingston memory finder on this page to find the right one for you).

Hard Drive: Not much to say, enough room for a LOT of stuff! 160GB is very good.

Video Card: Definitely not a Highlight of the laptop. Is comes with 64 MB of dedicated memory with UP TO 287MB of shared memory, meaning it takes the rest from the laptops RAM memory. Again, if you plan on keeping Vista and playing games on this, GET 2GB OF RAM, else it wont be able to get more power from the Laptops ram memory (thanks to Vista's RAM abuse). But then again, compared to the DV6426's Intel 950 Integrated video card, you would really prefer to get this one (Nvidia Geforce Go 6150).

I gave it 4/5 not because of problems with the laptop, but i would have loved that instead of coming with 2 512MB RAM sticks it would come with a single 1GB stick, making upgrading cheaper.

One more thing: HP's online support is excellent. I sent them an email with some questions about the camera and they assisted me in every possible way, giving me some very good updates for the BIOS, even though i didn't even request it. Now my laptop works better ;).

That's basically it. I pointed out the most important facts of this Laptop. Hope it helps you choose!
