if this information is correct

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c01423731&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN

please provide it next time  ;)

the one you choose will work perfectly on it, all of them in fact, you have enough hardware to run latest and greatest, i do in a netbook with kde4

that system has a onboard nvidia 6150, did you put it, the ati or are you confused about this detail?

some ati cards are problematic on linux but the nvidia onboard you have should work perfectly

I am running the Full PCLOS 2010.7(fully updated) kde version on my Compaq SR1303WM machine with no problems.
Its a 2004 model that had 512 MB of RAM ( just recently updated to 2X1 GIG sticks RAM)
Until I installed the New RAM running the live CD was kind of a pain, but still managed to get PCLOS installed
and from there all was well.
