The 9700 mobility will perform just a bit under the speed of a desktop 9600xt. The important factor is clockspeed. Dell clocks the 9700 at 445.50 MHz core/263.25 MHz memory. The desktop 9600xt is clocked around 500 core/300 memory....

If powerplay is working, you should get a tab like the one shown in the following review: http://www.beyond3d.com/reviews/ati/...index.php?p=13 It is easy to check if it is working or not because Powerplay downclocks your video card...

Based on features and clock for clock performance, the 9600 and 9700 are virtually the same. The 9700 is just a respin of the 9600, manufactured using an improved process that allows the chip to run cooler, and consequently to run at a...

The type of memory totally depends on what your notebook requires, e.g. PC2700 or PC3200 Sodimms... Notebook RAM differs from Desktop RAM. As far as amount is concerned, most people running WidowsXP should be fine with 512 MB total...

As long as you know that type of memory you need, you can just buy it from any reputable vendor: www.crucial.com www.newegg.com

From Acer's point of view, a 4200 rpm drive is cheaper, requires less power, runs cooler, and is quieter. Of course, it is also quite a bit slower. It should be easily replacable with a 5400 or 7200 rpm drive, as long as heat does...

Thanks for all the advice . So, I guess that it is safe to assume that no ODM produces a Pentium M or Athlon64 Mobile notebook that contains a 9700 clocked higher than 391.5/202.5 . I realize that in a smaller form factor...

Is there any Pentium M (or Athlon64 Mobile) notebook that has an Ati Mobility 9700 clocked higher than 391.50 core and 202.50 memory? I was about to buy a Compal CL56 based system, but the low core/memory clocks made me reanalyze my...
