[talldude123]

hard drive.

[sabondtyler]

i hav a couple questions...

is it slow on youtube?

nd is it good and kinda fast?

[YouLikePieDontYou]

Haha my comp is rated 6.7

[WindowsTechHelp]

Windows Vista only supports up to 5.9 lol.

[SRHawk24]

Which would you suggest, the Vista or XP?????

[HP2133]

Actually I decided to only use Vista for the past month and actually like it...Crazy I know... Make sure you put SP1 on there though.

[s4jt]

Annoying sound...

[HappyUuu]

Thanks for the video, its exactly what I wanted to see!

[rdt1970]

you need to drop vista and put xp or linux on there mine is a 1.2ghz 2gb mem ver and xp is zippy!

[mYOzZyKaT]

Vista on that HP2133...LOL...what a complete joke...

10 sek to open IE...LOL..is that a 386 system??

LOL....Youtube slows its down..LOL...

man get real and dont bullshit us, it sucks with Vista...not to bad...

An EEE PC running Linux boots faster than that thing opens a simple IE window... what a joke...

[elie5252]

dude ista doestn suk, ive been havin vista for bout 1.5 yrs and its been great. it hasnt crashed, it runs fast with 3 gigs of ram, and buddy wtf r u thinkin of using an OS with IE??? i mean internet explorer suckls not due to vista, but b/c it sucks in its own way. use fuckin firefox or safari. i hate u fags who bag on vista, well im a happy customer and i havnt had ay probs with it. =)

[robaxx]

That's pretty nasty performance for a 1.6ghz computer. Looks about the same as my old 800Mhz Transmeta tablet pc does with XP.

I hope they do an Intel version of this.

[SmugVirusFreeMacUser]

You can't use clock speed as a comparison for different types of processors...

[stanbenqq]

what do you hp 2133

[vegaspimp]

Nice looking machine, however it is slow.

[ferrarimk13]

how do you change to xp, they give it to you for free the downgrade?

[HP2133]

If you get Vista Business you can downgrade for free. install xp using a friend's disc and key. When you activate, choose Activate by Phone and call Microsoft. Tell them you're downgrading and they'll give you a new key

[ferrarimk13]

you have to buy a usb disc drive though right? and they dont send you the xp cd?

[richardlai]

Someone said YouTube is a bit laggy on the 2133. Is that true? Even without the preloaded crapware?

[HP2133]

Yeah, all flash video drops frames in Vista. Supposedly it's better in XP, but I haven't tried. I'm not sure about Ubuntu, so I'll give that a shot tonight.

Check here for more details on video play back with Vista: hp2133guide (dot) com/hp-2133-mini-note-vista-mo­vie-playback/ (won't let me post a url..)

[richardlai]

Cheers mate.

[edwinwongey]

Ohhhh so thats y its a bit lagggy on youtube

[HP2133]

it's way better in xp!

[richardlai]

That's good to know. I've been hearing similar comments too.

[Stormbreaker69]

You don't by chance have the linux version to test do you? :D

[HP2133]

I do have Ubuntu installed, but I couldn't get teh wireless drivers working though. Since I'm going to be reformating and installing XP I didn't want to waste a whole lot of time on it for now. I will be installing Ubuntu again though.

It sounds like there are a lot of issues with SLED on there. They didn't really configure things right. Most people are switching to XP or Ubuntu from what I've read.

[HP2133]

it's the camera focusing, i've confirmed it filming my tv and moving around. if i put my ear close to it I can hear it making the noise.

[mik86]

are the sounds the hard disk or the camera?

[HP2133]

Sorry, that is my camera focusing... for some reason it's very loud. The camera is 5 or 6 years old so I think that is issue. I'll be getting a new camera soon.

[fiancailles]

What is that horrible sounds?!
