> You specifically need to decide whether weight is a factor for you: > (a) a desk top replacement, will weigh about 8 lb ... a luggable > (b) a lightweight powersaver, will weigh about 4 lb ... no gaming conversion 2.2lbs = 1kg, so I guess I'm talking a 'not quite desktop replacement at ~7lbs.' My personal computer at the moment is a 1GHz P3 with 512MB Ram and 32mb geforce 2mx graphics.
For me a processor which has much more cache (4-8 times as I can't remember how much L2 cache a p3 100mhz fsb has). 4x the bus speed, and 1.7x the clock speed can't be that bad. I'm not convinced processing power is the be all and end all any longer... in my mind that sounds fast enough for a processor. I'm under the impression that the graphics is the most important thing, I would welcome critique as to where system limitations occur. > My laptop has the 9600, can't help you on the support level for 9700. > If you visit the ATI discussion boards, you'll find that ATI have been > playing marketing name games with the recently released chip designs. I have emailed ati, no response as yet. I will look at these discussion boards. What I don't understand is they have one document indicating that everything above radeon xxxx is supported and another saying only certain specific chipsets are supported. Are the problems you're experiencing with the drivers only experience on a 64 bit system? What are the power saving features like for this driver? Can you configure anything worthwhile? Thanks for the input... t- minus 3 days and counting...
