the FSB is only 400 because the 855gm chipset can only support that FSB. The difference is roughly 5% give or take, and this is with faster memory of course. If it used the same exact components and the cpu at the same freq, then the...

my next laptop upgrade will be in about 2 or so years. So its definitely going to be 64-bit.

humph, I dont know. I think you need infinity bazillion jigabytes of memory. Otherwise it should be fine. On a lighter note, it looks exactly like what you need. 512 MB should be enough ram, if you ever feel like it is a bit...

everything looks good....except the harddrive like mage previously said. It would cost around $100 to replace it. Might be worth it if you find out that everything takes forever to run. Otherwise, for what you get, looks like a good deal.

most likely not, intel is notorious for requiring new chipsets to run their newer cpus.

no, not true. ValueRam is perfectly fine if ur not overclocking. They are not the best chips, but in most cases they will be perfectly stable (error free) at stock timings and stock speeds. Heck, most value ram can be overclocked even a...

the difference between the two is huge. They are completely different architecture with different strengths and weaknesses. IMo, the p-m will have slightly better battery life, but it lacks 64-bit and is weak in FPU performance. Relative...

the amd 64 has a 12 stage pipeline, the pentium M is about 12 as well. Just so you guys know, the amd 64 DOES NOT HAVE A FSB. It is called the hypertransport bus and is A LOT DIFFERENT from a fsb. If you want to read up on the...

ignoring the above post, I would go with the 9000, the 64-bit bus of the x300 really cripples it.
