Hello Rich and members, readers,

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HP has announced it will recall memory modules in up to 900,000 laptops manufactured between March 2002 and July 2003.  Lockups and bluescreens can occur due to faulty interaction between various manufacturer DRAM modules and Intel chipsets.  HP’s replacement program will allow a customer to receive a small kit containing a screwdriver and new memory modules to replace the faulty memory.

The following HP notebooks are covered by this recall:

    * Compaq Evo N610c, N610v, N620c, N800c, N800v, N800w, N1000c, N1000v
    * Compaq Presario 1500, 2800, x1000 and x1200
    * Compaq nx7000
    * HP Pavilion zt3000

cast-fish:
the figures are interesting


basically 1 million laptops....... at 2340 dollars each.    RR list Price in 2002

is  2.34 billion dollars. 

but as it is the "memory modules" those averaged about 200 dollars then maybe 250

so 1 million multiplied by 250 is

a quarter of a billion dollars........  (1/4 of ONE billion dollars)

cast-fish:
yeah also Rich

thanks for the advice on de-fragging the drive , before trying gparted resizing.

Did the de-frag and indeed, gparted worked. The drive how has a Linux swap.

Thanks for that.
