I was talking to Voodoo about 4 years ago when I was building a new system. I was treated really well and they (well...the guy I talked to anyway) seemed to know what he was talking about. Truth be known, if MemEx didn't give me a better price than what they offered I likely would have went with Voodoo. I would consider them again if I was building a new system.
As far as how the Centrino and Pentiums rate. I am not 100% sure but I believe it has to do with a higher cache size and slightly different architecture, which allows the centrino to process something slightly different. In short, by comparison, the way the centrino operates should give you approximately 1.5 to 2.0 the rated performance. Sorry for the unsureness...been awhile since I have had to deal with them...so brain has developed a memory leak. Have to stop running it on Windows 95 I guess? ;-) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Jon Copeland > Sent: January 14, 2004 11:09 AM > To: CLUG General > Subject: [clug-talk] WAY OT: CPU > > > How can the Intel Centrino 1.7Ghz CPU be rated at the same speed as the > Pentium4 3.06Ghz CPU? > > And...has anyone dealt with Calgary based Voodoopc?
