should i return my notebook because it has shared graphic memory?

Your talking about the processor
My bad

The 800Mhz one is likely to be a t series processor which are older and use more power

I'm not sure how the performance is affected if they have the same clock speed though

 

AH i see..
So basically the T series will draw more battery power etc..
But the performance will be as good as a P7350, correct?

 

Yup, and likely to produce more heat

Not 100% sure, but yes I think they should be close in terms of performance
This however depends on the actual processor (Full name), as there a quite a few T series processors clocked at 2Ghz, some better performing than others

 

Dam, now i'm pissed...
So basically i downgraded from an smooth running P7350 to a T5800(example)..
I just don't understand how new series like the GX620 would use an older T series on their machine.
And by the way, all the 2.0 ghz gx620 i saw online, they ALL had the P7350...
So i just hope that paper is flawed...

 

Don't stress too much

Since the GX620 is a newer/recent laptop it is likely to have either a higher-end T series processor T8xxx for exapmle, that provides similar performance to the P7350, or the P series and the spec sheet has an error

Hopefully the second cause

Keep us updated

 

2.0 FSB800MHz? means you're getting t5800. Don't panic, i'm pretty sure you will not even notice the difference in performance)

 

unless you're doing something processor intensive or playing a game like GTA4 which is processor intensive i dont think you'd notice a difference, heck, even a pentium dual core would serve you well. but thats how MSI keeps costs down, they give u lots of bang for ur buck on average, but build quality and certain components are cut back

 

Yeah, i just hope that sheet is wrong.
I trust MSI, i'm pretty sure even if it's a T series, it would be as smooth as the P7350.
And by the way, YES, i will be playing something like GTA4.
I mean that's why i replaced the dv5 with the GX620 after all...

 

Even for GTA 4, that meagre FSB difference will not be a matter of worry.That is because the game prefer multi core machines than dual cores. Remember when Vista came ,a lot of San Andreas fans had trouble running it in 2 cores since the game would crash. They had to manually change the affinity to 1 core. If you are apprehensive about GTA 4, I would say the T5800 would perform no differently than the T7350.

 

I see...
ok good, so nothing to worry about.
By the way, it also says on the sheet that the chipest is a PM45+ICH9.
Can those mix with an 800mhz fbs?

 

The PM45 northbridge chipset supports 1066Mhz FSB, so if you ever wanted to, you could probably upgrade the CPU yourself down the line if you think it isn't powerful enough. But in all honesty, I doubt you'd ever see the difference. Even if the cpu were a 1.6GHz Core 2 duo with an 800Mhz FSB, you'd probably rarely notice the difference between that and a 2.3GHz one in every day apps, and gaming. The only time where you would notice the difference is in converting video, compressing files, or games with ALOT of AI, and/or physics, like Crysis maxed out, or a newer RTS.

I really think you'll find that this new notebook will perform all of the same tasks your other one did just as quickly, with the addition of a HUGE increase in gaming performance.

 

No doubt.

I really can't wait to get my hands on this thing.

And by the way, i called the distributor who is shipping the laptop to the store, he said he's not sure and he might have misprinted the info on the sheet, and he doesn't have one now in the warehouse to check and see...

So i'm guessing the info on the sheet is wrong, and most likely the laptop will have the P7350.

And by upgrade, you mean i can install another core2 duo 2.9 ghz(example) in the future?

 

Theoretically you can upgrade this to something up to a T9600/9800 (2.8Ghz ) if it is supported
But as mentioned above you will barely notice the difference unless you carry out very processor intensive tasks
But it does give bragging rights

 

It's fine.
I'm happy either way.
I'll tell you what: if it wasn't for this forum, i wouldnt have ended up with this laptop.

So THANK YOU ALL!

I'll keep you updated on the processor's series name when the laptop gets here.
