I was wondering how does this CPU compare to the Intel line-up.
I could not find any benchmarks that compare it head to head.
So would it be equivalent to T6600 or P7450 C2Dou's series?
AMD Turion Ultra ZM-82 "Griffin" 65nm
Frequency: 2200 MHz
L2 Cache: 2 x 1 MB
Hyper Transport: 1800 MHz

View 7 Replies View RelatedAMD Turion X2 RM-72 - How does it fare in the notebook arena? I had decided to invest on a laptop with the above processor, but many are advising against opting for the laptop, because according to them "AMD heats up pretty fast and will ruin the laptop"
The laptop is question is HP Pavilion dv5-1203ax [url]
i'm having major heat problems with my DV4 1220US, If I let my CPU use 100% it shoots up to 80+c on Idle, 105c Under load. The HDD is usually over 55c idle, 65+ under load.
It's ridiculous considering how cool it is in my apartment, and how I balance the laptop on my right leg, with the whole left side uncovered and allowed to freely vent air.
I made a power profile that locks the CPU at 75% this helps majorly, however the Default "low power" setting @ 50% is impossible to use this computer with.
Is this because AMD processors suck? Could that be why the C2D version of this laptop with identical specs costs $200 more?
I tried to undervolt it with RMClock but it wouldn't let me change anything. There is supposed to be an advanced tab for messing with the voltage but it wasn't there. I was using the latest version of the program, and had all my drivers up to date with a super fresh install of Vista.
Is there anything special I need to do to get the program to work with a Turion X2 RM-72?
I was thinking about getting one of these laptops but I'm kind of concerned about heating issues that seem to have bothered turion laptops?
Also, does it have space to let you add a secondary hard drive?
I have a Compaq V6310US with the Turion TL-50 (64 X2 1.6 GHz), I have already sent it in for a new systemboard under HP's recall.
I use CPU-Z HWMonitor to monitor temps, here are my average LOAD temps (HL2/Counter-Strike:Source ~1 hour play time) with and without chill mat.
Without Chill Mat:
THRM: 79C
Core 0: 78C
Core 1: 85C
GPU: 98C
With Chill Mat:
THRM: 77C
Core 0: 75C
Core 1: 82C
GPU: 94C
Idle for both is more around ~30/25/35/58.
I get absolutely no signs of overheating during play. Are these acceptable temps or am I going to fry the GPU (or CPU) again in another year?
Especially the temps without the mat? I don't always use it because the temps are pretty similar with and without it anyway. Also, anyone knows what the THRM temp is exactly?
I am looking to buy a laptop and have zeroed in on these two:

They have everything in common except the processor.
2005ax has AMD Turion™ II M500 2.20GHz 1MB L2 cache
1308tx has ntel® Core™2 Duo T6600 2.20 GHz, 2 MB L2 Cache, 800 MHz FSB
and the difference in their prices, here in India is Rs. 5000 i.e roughly $100.
I have never used an AMD powered PC. Are their any software or hardware compatibility issues with AMDs? Any reason why I should go with the Intel box?
i got this HP tx2-1020us Tablet PC AMD Turion. 2 weeks ago suddenly it got this problem:
when turning on the power button, i see LEDs on keyboard and around (but not the HHD led), no activities at all. the LCD is totally black/blank. nothing ever appeared on the LCD. so, is the tablet dead?
I have an HP G60 that I was interested in possibly overclocking it. It has an AMD Turion Dual-Core RM-70 2.00GHz Processor in it. I was wondering if it is even possible to overclock it and if so how much would be a safe bet?
Heres some specs:
Model: Hewlett-Packard G60 Notebook
Processor: AMD Turion Dual-Core RM-70 2.00GHz 64-bit
RAM: 3.00 GB DDR2
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP1
HDD: 150 GB SATA
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8200M G
I was wondering if the new Neo X2 chips in the dv2z are a big improvement over the original Athlon Neo MV-40 single core. IIRC All three are clocked at 1.6 ghz and the single core and dual core Athlon Neo have the same amount of cache (512k) but the Turion has 1mb. I'm up in canada and am considering getting a dv2 to play some older games on, and the dual cores are not yet availible up here, so I am wondering if its going to be worth waiting for the dual cores to become availible up here or should I just go ahead and get one with an MV-40. I already know I am going to be getting one with the HD3410 graphics (not even going to try to game on the X1250, although its probably better than just about everything Intels got out there...).

This is to be used only at your own risk.
1. Preparation:
a. upgrade the bios to ver. 3315
b. buy a Turion TL-50(I bought one from ebay by 18$)
c. buy the thermal compound( arctic silver 5)
d. earth yourself and draw a layout of notebook.(make sure not missing any screw)
e. watch the video carefully (almost as same sa 3050)

I have been told by a few people that it is the Vid card that has died on me. If so. Is there any modding to put a 7800gtx in it? I have seen on the forums where I can purchase one for around $260US.

I can't get it to output audio over the HDMI connection to my TV when playing a Blu-Ray
With PowerDVD 8 it paid attention to the default device in the Playback control panel.
No matter what I do PowerDVD 9 will only play audio through the Speaker/Headphones - even if I set the HDMI to the default output device .....
My Inspiron 9300 has the following specs:
Pentium M 1.6Ghz pin modded to 2.13Ghz (previous CPu was 1.73Ghz) , 2Gb RAM (667Mhz sticks), 6800 Ultra (Xps Gen 2 Bios flash-A05, previous card was an X300 64MB.)
I seem to be getting odd 3DMark05 socres, around the range of 4500, I tried overclocking the 6800 Ultra to 500/1166 and that produced a result of around 5000. The odd thing is that 3DMark05 appears to be running "choppy" every other frame it seems to skip producing a choppy flow of the tests, the frame rate also fluctuate by about 5 FPS in somewhat low movement/action scenes.
I have tried numerous drivers all resulting in the same thing (every driver has been cleanly installed). I am also quite certain that it's not a temperature issue as the max temp the card reaches (according to I8kfanGUI) is around 80-85 C. Just to be certain I ran 3dmark while the laptop was in an ambient temp of -5C (holding laptop outside the window ;]) and still the same...although max temperatures were a lot lower.
So is it possible that the card is for some reason throttling back and forth from the high performance 3d profile (450/1064/1.38v) to the low profile one (250/658/1.1v)?
I got the card from eBay over a year ago now and thus have no warranty on it.
Has anyone else had a similar problem and found a solution?
I am currently considering flashing the card with a custom BIOS, using NiBiTor 3.6 get BIOS from card, change ONLY throttling values to 450/1064 and also voltage to 1.38v, do not touch anything else, save the BIOS burn to CD (alongside a copy of original BIOS read from card)-[no floppy] and flash.
However I am a bit worried about killing the card, has anyone attempted something like this? Also the ROM files generated by NiBiTor are exactly 64,000 bytes is this alright?
I've a Vaio TT that I'm (or was) fairly happy with, and before that I had the TX and the TZ.

I want an ultra-portable, i.e. 12" or smaller screen, weight less than 3 lbs, and it must have Blu-ray and SSD. Where can I find one
I have an XPS Gen 2 that I bought back in 2005.
What, if anything, is needed to be done in order to upgrade my system from having a 6800 Ultra card to a 7800 GTX card? Do I need to purchase any additional parts?
Does anybody know the performance difference between Dell's 64 GB "Ultra-Performance" SSD and their 128 GB "Mobility" SSD?
In Canada, the 128 GB Mobility SSD is $589 extra, while the 64 GB Ultra-Performance SSD is $648 extra.
I would really like to know how much (if any) performance I would be sacrificing by going for the bigger (and cheaper) Mobility SSD.
I'm in the processes of cleaning out my XPS Gen2 for the first time since 2005 (yes yes I know...) because it started shutting down during some games. The question I have is related to the heat pads on the video card memory, FETs, and on the chipset heatsink. I know these things suck. I want to use AS5 in place of them but there is a gap between the heatsinks and the memory/chipset/fets when you remove them. How have you guys gotten around this? Is there a better version of a heat pad and where would I get them?
View 9 Replies View Relatedhad a dell e4200 with the ultra performance solid state drive upgrade in my hands for a day or two last weekend. i'd looked everywhere for benches on the upgraded drive before purchasing, but i couldn't find them anywhere. so when i got the computer i decided to take some benchmarks to help out any other shoppers.
couldn't take any write benchmarks because the drive was an o.s. drive. i believe this drive is an slc drive with samsung's second generation ssd controller.
i don't have access to the laptop anymore, so i might not be able to answer any questions you may have about the drive or the laptop itself. but i'll try my best.
A couple weeks ago I put my laptop (a Dell XPS M170) beside my bed cause I had to use the MC Alarm to get up cause I had to be up at like 4 AM and I don't do well with the beep beep alarms.
Anyway, I plugged it in and sat it on the floor on top of (for lack of anything better) two Arizona tallboy cans laid longways (the feet sat on these) with a chess set box underneath (in case
it happened to slip off one of the cans). I also left the screen partway up. Well of course I left it on overnight for the alarm, but when I got up to go to the bathroom ...
I have two aspire one running XP and one is very slow. I switched the HD and the problem remains with the notebook. I did upgrade the BIOS to the latest one, no change.
What I found is that the ATA/ATAPI controller is set to MODE PIO on the slow notebook and I cannot change it to ULTRA DMA. When I change the driver to the right one then at startup I need to get back to the previous correct configuration as oit will not load windows..
What do you use to clean your screens with? I have grubby little fingerprints ALL over mine, and it is especially annoying on black screens in movies/games and such.
I almost bought a pack of normal "LCD Cleaning Wipes" but then I noticed it had Alcohol in it and shyed away from it. Why? I'm assuming that Alcohol would hurt the sensitive gloss finish on the screen, but my assumption could be wrong (and hopefully it is, would be much simpler to use those wipes). I also tried just using a dry wash cloth and just gently rubbing the prints off, but it only smeared them, and I'm afraid I'll damage the screen if I push any harder than I already am. Using a wet wash cloth seemed to have no effect either.
So how about it? What method do YOU use, and find best, to clean your screens?
I have been looking into upgrading my 9300 from the 6800 to the 6800 Ultra for the past couple of years now. The prices are finally reasonable enough to do the swap. My question is would the swap even be worth it these days? Is it still a good enough card to make it worth my while to come up from the standard 6800 even with overclocking it?
View 15 Replies View RelatedOk, so I really needed more hard drive space in my T350p, I am guessing alot of you are in the same boat I am and the machine is great if only it had more hard drive space.
Unfornately pretty much all the large drives are in either Zif or sata, so changing the internal drive was not going to get me much more space.
So, I looked at other options. I did not want to use an external, they are great and I have several of them, but it is just not as conveniant as having a large built in drive.....
Keyboard backlit stopped working (it used to work earlier). In BIOS the keyboard is now defined as a nonbacklight (BIOS was updated by L521XA13W.exe from dell.com/support/drivers), not sure how it was defined while working...
I've looked for a solution at community.dell.com/support-forums: - pressing Fn+F6 doesn't switch it on,- launching BacklitKB.exe from QuickSet says the backlight is on but it's not (I can adjust brightness, timing, turn it off/on but it still won't work),- reinstalling the QuickSet doesn't work,- Windows Mobility Center lists the backlit keyboard, but doesn't bring it on;- putting it to sleep and waking it up also doesn't work as well as restarting it.
For whatever reason, my 6800 Ultra in my XPS Gen2 I got awhile ago went dead. Can anyone suggest where I can get a replacement on the cheap(er)? I bought the 6800 Ultra upgrade for $500 back then and now spare parts wants $599 for one.
