Go ahead and get the AMD64 cpu. The later cores are running much cooler. The cpu used in the zv6000 is actually a desktop cpu, not the mobile cpu.

If you go the the zv6000forums.com site, you will find plenty of folks who are using 64bit windows or linux. There are several good sites that cater to AMD64 and drivers, can't find my links for them though.

64 bit is the very near future, in my view AMD has the better product, and that is coming from someone who has used Intel chips for years.

I was only letting you know that dual channel memory had been hobbled on the HP DTR laptops. I am very satisfied with my laptop and I will be going to 64bit Windows when it is feasable.

Dollar for dollar, or perhaps Euros for Euros, the HP zv6000 and r4000 are hard to beat. Most buyers are able to get a good setup for sub US $1000.00. If you are in the U.S., check Staples, Best Buys, Circuit City and even HP. A lot of people have gotten very good bargains from HP. If you are ordering a custom zv6000, it seemed to me that HP was delivering there orders slightly quicker than one of the brick and mortar outlets.

Be certain to go the the aforementioned forum, you will find all the answers for all your questions. :)
