Here's an example. DDR2 is quad pumped and operates at a 2:3 memory to CPU ratio, so if your FSB is set at 200MHz, DDR2-533 or faster will operate at 533MHz (200MHz FSB x 2 x 2/3).

Again, DDR2 operates only at a 2:3 memory to CPU ratio. Anyone hoping to realize the benfits of PC 4200 will be using a desktop with a larger fsb than 533, on a notebook it doesn't make a difference.

Which 60g 7200 rpm are you using? It is not logical, DDR2 operates at a 2:3 memory to CPU ratio. Any hardware experts want to chime in?

Nice review between two notebooks not two cpus. But really none of the outcomes should have come as a surprise in terms of performance aside from the battery life. Aren't the benchmarks right where you'd expect them to be?

I didn't install it on this notebook, for some odd reason i get motion sickness with some first person shooters.

i use the thermaltake xwing...another name it goes by is bt500...comes with and without the usb adapter...should be able to find it cheap on the web...some complain about the size...but that was just what i was looking for.

Medium? I just remember it wasn't the samllest one. Sorry don't remember the exact res but will let you know next time i fire up BF2.

There was some test numbers up on Blackviper before testing different page setups, primary, secondary, static, dynamic, and i believe also partitioned. The site is down for now but maybe you can check it out in the future if they ever...

Available in Japan for a while now, the 80g Hitachi. Heard that a few fortunate souls already have the Seagate as well. Wish someone would benchmark the two so i'd know which to get.
