Good luck with your new computer. I just got a new HP with a Turlon
64 X2 dual-core processor. Even though it had a 64-bit processor, it
came with a 32-bit Vista Home Premium OS. My wife's new Gateway is
the same way. I made a backup disk set before dual-booting Ubuntu.

I tried loading the 64-bit version of 7.10, but it would not load, so
I fell back on the 32-bit version of Hardy. I have not encountered
any of the video and audio problems that other HP users have had with
Hardy, but the Broadcom WiFi chipset in the HP has me stumped. None
of the fixes have worked.
