It's basically whatever you'll find in the IBM X40 type 2386-1CU. My serial # is KV-AC277. Proud owner of a IBM. It's built like a rock - I love it. It's survived my backpack. Isn't that amazing?

Tomshardware even has Turions are really good, though I'm not totally certain of the veracity of the testers. Things also vary from test to test, so it's totally possible that what I have now is cooler and less-power-hungry than a Turion. However, start comparing the ratio of heat to speed and power to speed, and the Turion slaughters the Pentium Ms. > benchmarks claiming such a thing (which is odd since they're usually > anti-intel).

It kicks total butt. The Turion64 is really just a scaled down Athlon64. The new Turion64 X2s are just scaled down Athlon64 X2s. AMD just takes a bit longer to make their dual-core stuff because they load it up with all kinds of goodies that make it go faster without clocking it up. -- ========== GCv3.12 ========== GCS d-(++) s+: a?
