I have wondered for a while whether the new alviso chipsets (915pm) uses the same graphics slot as the 9860's 915p. It would be good to know it does because then the new huge market for alviso notebooks will continue to provide ati and...

It is just a marketing scheme intel is using to try to get people to buy its more expensive 925 chipset. Everything i've read says the 6xx series will work on 915 boards. This is the only proof i have bookmarked here . But maybe...

Intel does have at 64 bit processor (intel calls it EM64T) and this processor will be released in about 3 weeks - its called the 6xx processor. Its been talked about all over these (mostly sagers) board and many tech boards. It should,...

My brother has an alienware and has had lots of trouble with it. He's an electrical engineer and not a computer newbie and still has had trouble with hardware components. Everytime he calls alienware they send him throught that same...

Everything I've read said they will. Same socket, same FSB, basically a P4 with more L2 cache (the newest p4 already have EM64T built in) and bettter power management (might help battery life). I heard they might also contain...

Your clevo D9T (alienware 7700) uses the intel 915p chipset. It's a modified desktop chipset to fit inside a laptop. It uses an intel pentium 4 desktop processor. You can replace the processor if its a LGA775 socket with 800 mhz bus. ...

the 9860 runs terrible on batteries. This has been discussed at lenght already just search for the topic. Performace will decrease almost proportionally to the amount of battery thats left, i.e. 1/4 battery 1/4 the normal FPS (roughly).

No i have tried it and it does not work. The chipset is not supported. Try mobmeter for cpu and hard drive temps - no fan control though, that can be done through a bios change.

Here's what i found on the subject. here and here . These state dual cores will work with 915, however, EM64t supports much more ram than the 915 chipset will support. This could be the reason intel is saying the opposite. I will...

I think your both right. The ATI may use less power but I believe it's clocked around 400 GPU. The nVidia is at 250 and thus produces less heat. That might be the difference.
