Hello, I bought a Compaq V3033AU few months back. Turion X2 1.6, 1GB RAM , 100GB HDD, 14.1 wide screen. and rest of the regular features. I've tested it with FC5 32 bit , FC5 64 bit , Gentoo 64 bit, OpenSuse 10.2 but stuck to Gentoo 64 bit in the end. The laptop works well with all the versions I mentioned. The graphics are great with the Nvidia proprietery driver. For wireless I had to use ndiswrapper but I think it might work with the native bcm43xx driver in 2.16.20 .
Ofcourse, I am using the i386 binary version of Firefox. Blackdown Java as well as Flash work fine. With the alsa oss emulation I get audio too inside firefox !
Whats your budget ? I think the current starting price of the Compaq V3000 series is around 42000/- .

The budget was about 45K, so fits well.

With Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS on Compaq Presario V3000 (V3018TU) Mic is not working and LCD could not be used (at least bt me).
SO, before purchase, test any PC/Laptop wisely.
