HP ZD7000 Series Video Options

[akers]

I noticed the HP Pavilion ZD7000 series now has the FX Go5700 as a video option. Both the 64 and 128 versions are offered. Does anyone know if this is the "Desktop Replacement" version with the 450Mhz clock or the "Performance" version with the 350Mhz clock?

If it is 450Mhz with 128Mb it should be pretty nice coupled with th new higher resolution display (1680X1050).

HP has it clocked low by default (as they do most of their cards), but I am running mine 100% stable at 350/600.

3dmark01 12,440
3dmark03 3,304
Aquamark03 24,560

Plays everything great with 2x AA enabled.

And yes, the screen is VERY nice. I posted some pics at the bottom of this thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=51&threadid=1289082

OK Flashram, you just pushed me over the edge. ZD7000 it is.

I'm looking at: the 3.2 P-4 (not the EE), minimum RAM (I'm going to get 2X512 of good stuff for less money than HP charges for OEM), the 60GB 5400 rpm drive (may replace it with a 60GB 7200 later on, bigger if they are out by then), the 128 Go5700 video and hi-res display, and the Win Media Center.

Any suggestions you may have would be appreciated.

That should keep me going for a while.
