I just got my 3200 here in Taiwan. There are some slight differences. It has XP Home installed (Chinese), but it came with a sweet Acer carrying case and sleeve. I'll try to get some pics up sometime. Luckily, Acer will swap the...
I'd like to stress again that all these apps and benchmarks are optimized for Pentiums. Only when 64 bit Windows and 64 bit versions of these apps are released (in the very near future) will reliable comparisons be possible. The...
there will be a 3400+ version with 1MB L2 cache next year.
35% better performance with identical clocks! I was expecting 10-20% for most apps. I will be nice to see how many other apps get huge boosts like this. Isn't a new 64 bit Doom coming as well? Most of my gaming is EMU, so hopefully...
We'll have tons of 64 bit options later this year and almost everything will have a 64 bit version by Q2 next year. There will be plenty to take advantage of in the average notebook lifespan. I plan to use my 3200 for 3-4 years,...
You also need to remember that almost all benchmark apps used are optimized for Pentium architecture. That automatically puts the AMD's at a disadvantage. They also don't include FX model AMD's. I wonder how this chart will look when...
How about a 7200rpm 100GB drive? They should be out very soon.
That's not really true. The AMD doesn't need the large L2 cache because its memory structure is far superior. Every little bit helps, but because the memory structure is so efficient there wouldn't be much difference between a chip...
I don't plan on getting another laptop for three or four years, so I'm getting the 64 bit processor over the 32 bit P-M. The revolution is coming soon. As far as 32 bit performance goes, they are basically equal so I would choose...
