Good luck getting more than an hour from your battery out of that beast. :rolleyes:

Actually, laptops with Athlon 64s tend to have surprisingly good battery life. His probably manages around 2 or 2.5 hours.

Sometimes more.. A fiend of mine has a 3700+ and it lasts 3.5.. :D I wanna get one but I don't remember the damn brand.

All the info's in my sig, enjoy. I have only one problem and that's drivers for my keyboard and mouse, no big deal though, just can't use the extra buttons on them. And maybe the fact that I'm running one 1GB stick (single channel) instead of maybe 2 512MB sticks in dual channel... I've been using the stick I had from my other PC, maybe I'll grab some good dual channel and shove this 1 GB stick back in the old PC once I have the money to do so.

BTW, I've been here for almost 4 years now and still haven't reached 1000 posts... I guess I'm not too talkative...

But I'm always watching... :alien:

A real powerhouse..... but I have to ask. You went top shelf on just about everything, but went with the low resolution screen??? I would have gone with 1 gig mem and upgraded to an Uber screen. Regardless, congrats and hope you enjoy it :yes:

Well, I agree the monitor seems small when you're looking that screen resolution, but if when I get a chance to take some pictures, you'll see that the screen is actually pretty big (widescreen) ... at any rate, it is one of the best AMD notebooks I could find.

XP Professional with Service Pack 2

AMD Athlon 64 FX-55

ABIT AV8 - VIA K8T800 Pro

1GB Corsair XMS Extra Low Latency DDR PC-3200 SDRAM at 400MHz - 2 x 512MB

ATI RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition 256MB

Serial ATA RAID 0 - 148GB (74GB x 2) Western Digital Raptor 10,000 RPM w/16MB Cache

Kinda an old topic but not much activity here...well, here is my current system.

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 630 (3.0Ghz / 2MB L2 Cache / x86-64)

Memory: 1.5GB PC-3200 DDR2 (256x2 PC-3200 / 512x2 PC-4200)

Video: ATi Radeon X300 128MB (Next on the Upgrade List)

HD: 40GB Serial ATA 7200RPM

I think this is the first Pentium 4 6xx series listed here.

It's a great machine, faster than hell and more stable than a rock, I'm very pleased with it.

Processor: AMD64 3200+ (939)

Motherboard: ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe

Memory: 768MB PC3200 (512MB x 1; 256MB x 1)

Graphics: ATi Radeon X800XL 256MB (VIVO)

HD: 120GB 7200RPM (Seagate); 120GB 7200RPM (Western Digital)

OS: Windows XP SP2

It's a good system, though the CPU is a bottleneck (the memory isn't great either). Both the graphics and the CPU are overclocked for gaming (Guild Wars and CS:S).

    • Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
