The chips with the 64 bit disabled will be sold under the Sempron name.

I'm thinking about getting an HP zv5000z series notebook with an Athlon 64
3400+. Does anyone in the NG have one of these, how do you like it? Also
are there any Linux compatibility problems?

One final question, I vaguely recall reading something about HP selling
systems with a castrated AMD64 that only operated in 32 bit mode. Does
anyone know if the processors in the zv5000z are proper Athlon 64s?
