I had to remove compiz from an old HP laptop I've lent to an older neighbour as an email / 
web machine. Works absolutely fine without compiz, but hangs with it in. I suspect a 
perverse interaction with some components on some systems. And the model number may not be 
terribly helpful: a friend who did some work for Asus in the factory said he saw them run 
out of one sub-assembly and switch in another with different characteristics. This was on 
mostly complete machines. They may or may not have changed the model number.

Be nice to know what actually is going on, but most of us just want to use our machines.
