Tried your drivers mrk but no joy, reckon my win7 install is messed up. I also cant run the windows experience index, it says i do not have any multimedia capabilities to test lol

Nvidia ion now shows up in device manager.

Hi Emma,

Daft question but did you get DDR3 ram?

I think so - I followed the upgrade advisor on crucial.com - this is what my receipt says:

CT1120863 2GB, 204-pin SODIMM Upgrade for a HP - Compaq Compaq Mini 311 System

Bizarre! reinstall methinks

Just doing a total reinstall from an external dvd drive. Deleted the partion and starting again.

I will then put the drivers on you recommend mrk and in the same order.

Good luck man!

I ran Aero assessment and got:

processor : 1.5
memory: 4.2
graphics (aero): 2.9
graphics (gaming): 5.2
primary hard disk: 5.5

I think the cpu score is due to the sidebar using the cpu more, I had this issue on the NC10 as well so am re-running the test with sidebar turned off.

Edit*

ok so with sidebar disabled I get:

processor : 1.6
memory: 4.2
graphics (aero): 4.4
graphics (gaming): 5.3
primary hard disk: 5.5

Can anyone else with Win7 installed do the same?

That's weird mrk, my CPU gets 2.2.

Hmm What settings could cause the cpu to run so low?

 

[Raikiri]

No idea, how many processes do you have running?

 

[mrk]

62 processes during idle.

I noticed in cpu-z that the cpu is throttling randomly between 1600mhz and 800mhz - does yours do the same?

 

[Raikiri]

Yeah, mine does that however I have far fewer processes running:

 

[mrk]

Very weird, did you trim down some services?

 

[Raikiri]

Nope, standard Pro install with rainmeter and a few processes from iTunes running.

 

[mrk]

Ok, Idle at boot is 48 processes, I had Windows update going before so some windows services and processes kicked in

For some reason, noted in this post : http://myhpmini.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=2580

CPU scores seem to fluctuate depending on what ION drivers are used???

 

[mrk]

Installing 187.66

Also found an OSD for volume!

We're both running 191.07 afaik.

Well i reinstalled windows 7, put the ion driver on and then loaded the chipset drivers.

I still cannot run the windows experience index. Do you think my netbook is faulty?

 

[mrk]

Did you install the chipset drivers? they install the correct mobo drivers else you won't be able to do much else

After looking on google it can be a problem with the video card not having enough ram to perform its full tests. I only have 1gb until monday. Maybe you guys with 3gb allow the ion vid chip access to more memory.
