between Turion 64 x2 TL52 VS Core 2 Duo... which one is faster r? and does the geforce GO 7300 carries a big different with the normal intel graphic card bundel with the V3000 series system? mind to clarify for me someone?

AMD Turion 64 X2 is much faster.. From my knowledge GeForce GO 7300 is much better compare to Intel GPU. Pls don't choose intel GPU.. u will regret!

ViVA AMD!!!!!! Tested Performance!

Just My 2 Cents

Cheers!

Happy Computing!

do you have any article to proof your saying since it's just your 2 cents? not doubting you but just need some concrete answer... i heard from some one that Intel is better and faster then AMD.. that y im confused, traditionally AMD is faster, but i've been off the market for sometimes now and not sure how it's like now.. that y need some expert out there to give some comment.. how about heat wise? AMD should be hell lot hotter right?

Tmnet StreamyX have promotion about Compaq Presario V3000 Series Notebook PC Spec:-

Intel(R) Core(tm)2 Duo Processor T5500*
(2MB L2 Cache, 1.6GHz, 667MHz)
. Genuine Windows Vista (R) Home Basic
. 512MB DDR2 SDRAM, 120GB Hard Disk,DVD +/- RW Double Layer
. Integrated LAN, WiFi & Bluetooth
. 14.1" WXGA TFT BrightView Technology

The total cost of this notebooks is about RM2600... Izzit valuable for buying? please advise

Yes, it worth to buy cos market price RM3599 but u need to sign up streamyx for 2 years at least.

My brand new presario v3222au comes with only 512mb of ram. I'm thinking of upgrading to 1GB but not sure what is the type and model of ram to buy.

I guess buying from hp is going to be much more expensive but if i upgrade myself will i void the warranty?

Since AMD introduced Turion 64 X2 (Pure Dual Core) + Mobile Technology, it was eleminated overheated issue. As i experiences it now. Don't expect it cool like 'ICE' ... CPU used to be hot... not to be frozen!

One thing that AMD can't matched Intel is a Battery Power Consumptions which is i feel that AMD sucking it faster compare to Intel. At least V3000 (AMD) can use about 2-3 hours on batt power supply anyway and it was acceptable still.

Performance wise... AMD is yummy! Lazy to type o..le..dy..

Hope other sifu can add in or comment on this..

Cheers!

P/S: Just My Opinion... I Am Not Granted Anything Happened...

OK here is the catch!!!!!

Ever heard Intel GPU good at 3D games.... C'mon history guys!!!!!
basically Intel GPU suckkked at it!!! Past Present and FUTURE too!!!!
they have D3D and OpenGL but the level Intel GPU support is relatively low and the tweak they offer is limited!!!! and GAMES CANT SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont believe me try it lah!!!!

now Ever heard Nvidia and ATi Sucked at 3D CARDS!!!!!!!!! no rite!!!!

Nvidia and ATi is the Dominant Player on 3D GPU!!!!
they rock from Day one!!!! and they continue to rocks!!!!!!!!


simple!!!! comparison!!!

Both iGPU and nGPU try install say some HIGH 3D GAMES!!! erm.....

QUAKE4 or NFS Carbon!!!! difference can immediately seen!!! cause!!!

intel GPU can only run on software render mode while!!!
nVidia GPU Running on Hardware OpenGL mode!!!

although performance is abit on the low side (BUDGET$$$)
hey atlease U can RUN the game!!!

Intel some games cant even allowed you to run!!!!
they just prompt a Box say "Biliener or Antalising OPENGL card required"

hahahah then U will bang your head against the wall!!!!! cause U cant change no more!!!!!!!!!!!

If wont void ur warranty. Most ppl are using kingston brand now. so far no problem. HP ram is 2x more expensive that market ram price.

Salams to all

I just bought Compaq V3218 yesterday

Yeah...! You're absolutely right! I used to play NFS carbon with NVIDIA 6150.. The result is great no hang at all.. Loading time also fast enough.. Details graphis so smooth.. Like i said before V3... AMD+NVIDIA Spec is yummy... Even it's the best spec at best price item in cheap lappy category on market currently.

DELL AMD Spec also not bad for your info but i just doubt on ATI 1150 performances. Still more trust NVIDIA capabilities, cause i was tested NVIDIA already and appreciated!

CHEERS!

Seems you have the problem exactly same wit me.... this is what I do!!

makesure the most important the LAN and modem is usable!!!!

when U detect sound driver select Search from Internet..... Microsoft XP will search the net and install.... I did that and all my stuff are now working perfectly!!!

calvin

so, did u also install sp32646.exe , sp33258.exe , sp33543.exe , sp33867.exe ??/

Bro, maybe U should update your BIOS driver as well (can obtain from the link at page 1 of this thread), I had the same problem too, then after updating the BIOS driver (but first you must make sure you have installed all the drivers on page 1) it will autodetect the soundcard.

Hope this info helps.

3218 is intel based rite.....

if intel based then it is different from mine AMD based

hehe..AMD+nVIDIA RAWKSSSSSSSSSS.... NO BOTTLE NECK.. not like Intel.. hehe..

try it for yourself..then you know the diff...

hei i m having a V3222...i m having 1GB RAM now with :

1 X 512MB Samsung 667MHz DDR2 (comes original with HP)

1 X 512MB Kingston 667MHz DDR2 (bought at All IT)

r u planning to buy another 512MB? if yes...can we exchange so that both of us can run in dual channel
