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).

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
