Quad with NP9262 and desktop?

Reading about the Sager Np9262 gave a lot of pple satisfaction about their quad core. I wonder if you fell the same when using the quad core in 9262 system and desktop system?

 

I am not sure I understand what you are asking. Please clarify.

 

A Quad Core in a notebook computer does wet a lot of beginner's pants but knowledge that a lot of popular applications do not use the third and fourth core may help you to make a wise decision

If that's your question?

 

I think he might be asking what the difference is between the Notebook Quad-Cores and the Desktop Quad-Cores.

Laptop: can't find link for quad core laptop processor anyone wana help

 

There are no laptop QuadCore processors yet.

The NP9262 uses the desktop chipset and processors.

 

RIGHT ON man... A laptop using full-on desktop parts... thats wat i call POWER!... now im just waiting for DDR3 Ram in this and maybe desktop video cards

 

Desktop video cards?!?!? How big do you want this thing to be?

That'd need a full on desktop power supply to go with it...Might as well just buy a full on desktop and glue the whole lot together with a power strip... (now there's an idea )

 

well i always have this baby plugged in (i kno thats bad, ive read the battery life guide) cuz im always gaming. and i do think of this computer as an extremely portable desktop. Cuz i dont carry it around as much as i would a regular laptop, but i do move it regularly, like once a week between school and home. Its kind of inbetween.

 

I mean is there a performance difference between a Sager NP9262 compare to a custom desktop quadcore (having the same amount of Ram, same chipset, same quadcore processor)

 

Virtually no difference at all.

 

quick question to you:
The same Ram with dekstop & notebook make no difference right?
what do you think about DDR3&DDR2? I want to build a desktop, but not sure what should I choose

 

I would recommend you ask your desktop questions elsewhere...this is a notebook forum and our expertise is generally limited to laptops.

However I can tell you that DDR3 is faster than DDR2, so the choice should be easy.

 

I think Sager 9262 is as fast as a desktop with the same config, which brings the question "why does desktop has to be so big?"

 

Because it's cheaper to produce bigger parts in that it's easier to make them. It also means that they can be modular (moreso than the 9262s) so can have more variability in components. It is also easier to cool as there is more room for airflow (so the cooling doesn't have to be as well designed or cleaned as often)

 

That may still be right today but notebooks are closing the gap and this may explain why notebooks sell better than desktop systems. Semiconductor technology is producing chips consuming less energy with more processing power. The desktop "fridges" will soon turn into dinosaurs!

 

well, actually it's a hardware question. does not matter if it is desktop or notebook right?
because the notebook ram DDR3 is not out yet so just wonder

 

DDR3 is available -- check http://www.mycizmo.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=72

I read that DDR3 is 10-15% faster than DDR2...

And yes, a desktop with a Q9450 and 4GB of RAM and a 9262 with the same processor and same speed and latency of RAM should be the same.

Graphically a notebook would be somewhat less. The 8800M GTX afaik is not as powerful as the 8800 GTX desktop, its equivalent is the 320MB 8800GTS desktop. I read about this, haven't yet tested myself, so I stand to be corrected!

 

DDR3 is faster, but at a minimum CAS of 7, I wonder how it will be in gaming. Its likely the RAM in these systems will ship at CAS 8, double what I'm running now. We'll see how it performs when I get it.

I'd say that the 8800M GTX with a half decent overclock would be more equivilent of the 8800 GTS 640MB G80 in terms of performance. The fact that I can run most of crysis at 1024x640 with the Ultra High settings mod at an avg of 30fps is pretty good to me.
