Hello,

It does not look like a bad notebook computer, from reading the dv2670en specifications on Hewlett-Packard's web site. It does use an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100, which you can download the latest drivers for from this page on Intel's web site. Adding another gigabyte of memory will improve Microsoft Windows Vista's performance, too.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky
