What do you guys think,

Is the powersavings and less heat that the low voltage AMD mobile 2800+ worth the hit in clock speed and performance that the 3400+ has?

My final choices for a notebook are the Ferrari 3200 and the Game PC's GPN-A64B.

Suggestions?

def go for the low voltage :P

more battery time the better

the diference in that kind of cpu power is negligable interms of real time performance... you'd only see the difference in synthetic benchmarks

The Ferrari 3200 doesn't seem to last all that much longer than say the MiTac 8355 on battery power, and the mitac uses dtr's. On battery you aren't using the full power on either of them, they're both clocked down with PowerNow or whatever it is. Rince you had the 8355 what kind of real life battery time did you get out of it? Do you really think that the GPN-A64B would be much different in battery life?

there is the compaq r3000z if you equip it with Athlon XP-M 1.6mhz but if you mean AMD64, can't think of one right now.

Well, I actually you can customize that compaq with a 12-cell and an AMD64...just from looking though.

Are you sure about that rincewind? I checked out the configuration on the GamePc and it said it was only an 8 cell battery. See link:

That link is NOT to a mitac8335.



This is a 12 cell battery

Ah... that's the confusion then. I was asking for a comparison between the Ferrari 3200 and Game PC's GPN-A64B.

I believe that the Game PC is base off Uniwills design Uniwill 258KA0 . It is simililar to the ABS Mayhem G1 but with a AMD64 processor instead of a P4.

if we are looking at 8 cell between tehse 2 a64's, the low one would have more batt life

Yeah, but I would still go with the regular mobile. But thats because I prefer a little mix of power and mobility...boy does it create one heck of a mix too!
