I have a HP Pavilion N5425 that has the CyperBlade XP chip inside it.
I have noticed a lot of instability when using X with it. When I open a 
few
terminal consoles under blackbox everything becomes really jumpy. I'll
try and play around with it tomorrow and see if I have the same problems
with -CURRENT and -STABLE. I had just found this under my desk and
thought it would be nice to try DF on, so I haven't really tested 
anything else
on it for over 8 months.

A side note, the laptop has seemed to be very nice, though I'm hoping I 
don't
burn it up as the fan its screamingly load. I've got another one 
ordered from
HP, though its going to take 7-10 days and the way these bearings sound 
I
don't know if it hold up that long.
