Hi

I will be very thankful whether somebody experienced let the message
about use of 1000MHz notebooks with FCPGA socket CPU.
Is it really fast?
Is the CPU cooling working properly?

Thanks GP.

Hi,

belonging to an article in the german magazin C't (unfortunatly I can't
remember the number but guess it's 02/2001) the performance compared to
the used components is poor. If you are interested in this notebook i
suggest reading the article. Maybe even there is something about this
notebook on their homepage (www.heisse.de/ct)

hope this helps a bit,

Markus

Hi !

You will find a longer thread about this notebook at de.comp.sys.notebooks
and it
doesn't sound very good.

There is a company called RME that makes professional audio cards for PC's.
They beta tested a new laptop audio card with the Gericom 1Gig supersonic.
They said the memory speed was so slow, that the overall speed of the laptop
was around that of a PIII650. I don't know how they managed to get such
poor performance from this machine. I'd stay away from it as it sounds like
pure hype. I just picked up a Sager 8560-V PIII933 that uses a new VIA
ApolloProAX 133 FSB chipset. It seems incredible thus far. Go to
www.sagernotebook.com for more info. Very fast, very powerful!!

Thanks for suggestions. I will try t find out th CT journal seems only they
realy had it and test by themselfs. also the de.comp.sys.notebooks
discussions seems not from guys who realy had it. I am very much interested
on one who paid the money for it and have on hands. The words about sager is
good but unfortunately california is too far from Germany and I am going to
buy a notebook in germany with highes performace for mathematical
calculations and I am really caring about only the FLOATING POINT
calculations on CPU. Not so important that it is ding after an hour whethe
one will switch off it from power and the sound is working as 650MHz the
important thing is to have CPU operating on GHz level and makin the FP
processes fast.

Do anybody see anything about FP brenchmarks for that notebook?

Thanks GP.

The best real world application bench mark is
