AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile technology is based on the same industry-leading Direct Connect Architecture featured in the AMD Opteron and AMD Athlon 64 X2 processors, providing high-speed links between cores, memory and I/O for increased system performance. AMD also has taken the next step in the evolution of its open platform approach by collaborating with ATI Technologies and NVIDIA Corporation to deliver mobile reference designs based on leading, open industry-standard technologies. These reference designs are an example of best practices in notebook PC development based on AMD and collaborative technologies. The reference designs help ensure AMD customers get to market more quickly, and also help reduce platform development costs. AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile technology is the only mobile processor today that is optimized for the 64-bit versions of the upcoming Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. AMD has worked closely with Microsoft to identify and develop key hardware components in support of Microsoft Windows Vista, the next generation Windows operating system. In addition to high-end multimedia, premium gaming and secure commercial notebooks, AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile technology is an excellent choice for a mobile workstation-class platforms which allow customers to get high performance from their 32- and 64-bit workstation applications.
Advantages: speed, perormance, no dodgy intel media graphics Disadvantages: none really
...The processor operates at 1.9 Ghz which is not the fastest processor in the world, the fastest in the family of processors is the TurionTL-66 at 2.3Ghz. This speed is definately not bad though, with many intel laptop processors coming in at around 1.6 Ghz to 2Ghz. The speed is definately more than fast enough for the standard home user and probably fine for business use or even professional use. Although it is not the fastest it is still reasonable, and it has to be said that being a laptop processor it can not be expected to reach the same speeds as desktop processors which I have known to reach 3.2Ghz.
For anyone out there who is not technologically minded like me, and who does not understand Ghz, Mhz etc, it is quite fast, that is the simple version.
PERFORMANCE
The performance of the processor is great and it really is good at being...

...AMD Athlon 64X2 6000+ / 3GHzprocessor is very fast and reliable when compared to other processors which is more costly.
AMD Athlon 64X2 6000+ / 3GHzprocessor is very reliable when we use graphic softwares like photoshop or when we play 3D games which are very resource gulping.
AMD Athlon 64X2 6000+ / 3GHzprocessor will not lag or make you wait when we use large sized digital photos when downloading form digital cameras.I put this into the first computer i built.
It can run vertually anything with ease. I am using windows vista x64 ultimate with it, and i have 4GB ram. recommended to anyone. AMD Athlon 64X2 6000+ / 3GHzprocessor heat systrm is excellent which will not produce heat easly.

Computers now are more demanding and need more speed/power to keep up with performance games and software. Dual core work as two CPU cores which increases performance, it is the equivalent of getting two processors in one. In a dual core processor each... more
Please bow your heads and stand a moment in silence to mark the passing of my old laptop, an Acer travelmate 230, which, after four years and one too many blows to the head, finally gave up the ghost and went to laptop heaven with some of my holiday... more
In a word - FANTASTIC - a brilliant powerful portable computer, I recently upgraded by old laptop, which looks like a relic of the 1960's. The Dell Inpspiron 1501 has everything that matters for the average user. Fantastic looks and also has the muscle more

This processor is good compromise for a person who wants a high end processor but doesn't want to pay the high price. Combined with a good system this little guy will run most games very well, however if you don't have a sound card and are using your... more
