Hi Jim,<br><br>i just bought the HP dv9000t with the Intel Core 2 Duo back in October. And so far i have no problems using Linux. Mine has the Intel 3945 Wireless card which works good as well. I am running Xen on a x86 64bit kernel with windows and it runs great. I have not tried the AMD version but the Intel works great for me.

I've been looking at a couple of HP notebook computers<br>on the HP site after severe customization on my part.<br><br>All else being equal, the AMD version has the top CPU,<br>the TL-60, while the Intel version has the T7200.
<br><br>The Intel version has the advantage in L2 cache; 4MB<br>vs. 1MB. Also, it is a Core 2 Duo vs. a dual-core CPU.<br><br>Both have approximately the same HD capacity, and both<br>are SATA, but the Intel version runs at 7,200 rpm where

<br>with Linux, but that's the story of my life.<br><br>The Intel version costs about $300 more, which is not a<br>deal breaker.<br><br>Thanks for any advice.<br><br>BTW, I'll be dual-booting XP and Linux, but Linux is the
