Any laptop of the right thinkness and ATA speed should be fine. 
There shouldn't be any real reason to look for HP specific drives as it
seems it takes a fairly standard 9.5mm drive.  Faster spindle
speeds will help performance, but at the expense of battery draw and
heat.  If it's one of those hot P4 monsters, I'd be a tad wary of
using a faster/hotter drive than spec.  Otherwise, if it's a
Pentium M, then the heat output should be less worrysome.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/30/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">crash3m</b> &lt;<a href="mailto:crash3m@gmail.com">crash3m@gmail.com</a>&gt; wrote:
