The infamous ATI issue - again.... 2004-09-03 - By Christian Rittener
Back
How noisy is it? I'm selling my P4 laptop because I'm sick of those fans
(I get enough already from a dual Xeon workstation), and its "main RAM"
ATI graphics scheme won't run XSI.
Any comments on XSI performance AND noise on middle-of-the-road Pentium
M and AMD laptops are welcome... the Dell M60 seems great, but it's a
bit pricey. Acer?
