Sovz said:I already have ECS G736, and as for the cpu, I rally cant stand mobile cpu's because they are crap, I have Thinkpad T42 at work with the fucked up Pentium M cpu, and I really cant stand the fucker.
Sovz said:anyways the whole thing is about 6+KG so im not going to use it for traveling (I have a slimline picturebook for that crap.
Ashmo said:Well, yeah, and I was rated T2, which is short for "Totally Fucked".
Oh, there's neither a T nor a 2 in "Fucked"? So what, you gonna cry about it?
SuAside said:yes, but still. a dothan or a banias core allows for a smaller heatsink which means less weight with better performance than the desktop cpu. it also consumes less than a desktop cpu, which means you can use it on its battery a lot longer. it's not as if you'd have to trade down the one to get the other.
Sovz said:The reason why I don’t want Dothan is…. IF YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING RECENT DEVELOPMENTS …. Intel is about to release their new mobile CPU called alviso that will operate on 533FSB instead of the old 400 and all the other crap… it will also have the “new” (referred to notebooks) PCI express and other interesting features. That’s why I prefer to stick to socket 478 for now.
as for the performance of the dothan vs p4 ..... just check one of the online test and you'll see who eats who. (note, I want to put the extreme P4 version)
