Yea I'm pretty sure that laptop is indeed socket 939 because as you can see, it uses the ATI Xpress 200M chipset, which was designed for socket 939 processors. Wow, I wonder if more manufacturers will start coming out with s939...

I wanna put a couple of these in SLI... http://www.hardspell.com/news/showco...?news_id=11588 http://www.hardspell.com/newsimage/2...-945010327.jpg http://www.digit-life.com/news.html?114544#114544

Hehe yeah I knew that, I just wanted to point that out. Kind of a stupid pet peeve of mine. And since it's been know that nVidia cards generally tend to do better with OpenGL games, even the Go5700 should be plenty enough to play...

Yea the Ferrari does use the 35W low power version of the amd64. I remembered someone using the 62W one, i forgot who, but can he/she comment on the difference in CPU temps and how much more frequently (if at all) does the fans turn on?...

I would like to know too, i realized i'll be plugged in 99% of the time, so battery life won't be too important... Does anyone know if the 3200 will accept this processor?

So, what i'm trying to say is, you won't be able to turn up the clock speed in the mobiles that much with lower voltages required in laptop gfx cards. They may have all 16 pipelines, but it will be at low clocks. It will still be a...

Good find, but something in me is preventing me from believing we'll see 16 pipeline mobile cards before the end of this year. I mean, there are heat issues even with the Mobility 9600 in some laptops, imagine 4x the pipes of the M10 or...

I agree, I would like to see an A64 3700+ with 35W TDP. Although, I personally would take a 3400+ with a 25W rating.
