No worries, I saw the emoticon, but I thought I'd respond seriously because I felt it was a fairly critical flaw in the dv2.

I do have to wonder about the dv2 getting killed off so quickly...it's rather curious!

Ah, right, sorry - I was thinking of the dv2 that HP sent it...it has the dual-core CPU, so it's the same as the dm3. But you're quite right, the extra core would make quite a difference in many scenarios. You should run the FutureMark benchmark on your dv2 and compare the results to the dv2 in my video to see the performance difference.
