RE: New Sony mininotebook
Date: Sun, 12 Nov 2000 18:37:22 +0100 From: "Alexandre Kaoukhov" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: New Sony mininotebook Although benchmark issues are important I want to remind some practical issues. While CPU speed may be important for some of us. In my opinion for an average subnotebook user the most important question is whether the thing is capable of software DVD decoding. This would prevent from buying costly MPEG decompression card. Yet it remains to be seen if C1VN is capable to do that. In my original post I wanted to call your attention mostly to the following: ___ Pros and Cons - 05 Oct 2000 Umit - Umit Here it is, the pro's and con's of the VN vs XS: PRO's: - Less Battery Power - More on board memory (128, 192max) - Better Video, more memory (8 megs) - Windows ME CON's: - Cursoe 600 peforms like Intel 400 - Downgraded Camera - No IR port - Possible no Windows 2000/Linux support - No floppy drive/CDROM __ In my opinion even letting aside CPU issues some "CON's" may be sufficient fir many of us to favor older model. Moreover, the price gap will probably allow you to by more RAM and bigger HD. -Original Message- From: David Chien [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2000 1:14 AM To: Libretto Subject: Re: New Sony mininotebook Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2000 16:11:26 -0800 (PST) From: David Chien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: New Sony mininotebook > > After a number of passes the Crusoe architecture will run these faster > > as it profiles the code and optimises it. > These are UI codes and UI codes spend more time waiting for user input than > running. Benchmarking the UI codes are waste of time. However, it does nothing for the useful things I normally expect my computer to do, like MP3 compression, video capture and format conversion/compression, image editing, DVD/MPG video encoding, sound editing, etc. All of these operations require both integer and floating point operations that are not repeated ever, and push the CPU to its natural performance limits. Benchmarks thus far have shown that even just a basic MP3 file conversion takes about twice as long on the 600Mhz Crusoe CPU vs. a 500Mhz Celeron CPU. The point being that unless you only use your PC for Internet, Email, and word processing, you'd better take a closer look at the important benchmarks for the Crusoe before making your next purchase as the Crusoe is very poor when compared to similar speed Intel/AMD products. d =) ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **

The question remains the same how did you figure that out? Moreover you can access 1014-1015 cylinders from DOS whith no overlay software. I reserved 1016-1028 and it seemed to be ok as well. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **
