Will Windows 7 work in my HP Laptop

Hi guys, i tried today to start it by inserting the dvd into the cd-drive and the BIOS boot screen doesn't come up. It's my graphics card and I will need to buy 1 so tht I can install windows 7. thx anyway

What model HP Laptop is that?

I have the DV6000 series and I am running Windows 7 x64 currently fine. My laptop came with 1GB of ram but I upgraded it to 4GB for like $50 shipped off of newegg. I installed Windows 7 Build 7000 on it when it had 1GB ram and it ran perfectly fine! Granted I do not do much (AIM/Forums/Internet/Surfing/Videos/ECT)

50$ for 4 GB ?? thats pretty good !!

so if i convert to australian dollar and shipping, how much would it cost me?

mine too is DV6502au and its under DV6000 series ...

neways i will upgrade to 2 GB soon ....

should laptops use hybrid x64/x86 OS? i think not , in order to conserve resources?

the only thing wrong with that post is that he thinks Windows will ever get out of ALPHA !! we are always beta testing for M$ whilst they wrack in the dough and we are left with BSOD's.

since win95 they have only been leaders in OS for WinXP.....otherwise they have been copycatting MAC OS

And he probably meant, RAM that can be removed instead of the soldered on ram on laptop motherboards
