Half-Life 2 Performance
Half-Life 2 is one of the best looking games out. It also manages to run at a very high frame rate. Here, we’re averaging over 60fps on the Acer Travelmate 8100 and MRX700. This is excellent, especially if other games that adopt the source engine run at such smooth speeds.Enabling AA and AF drops the frame rate to under 40fps. Hardcore gamers demand higher frame rates than this, but for casual gamers who are likely to own this system, the image quality advantage of AA and AF in HL2 wins out hands down over complete smoothness.

Very interesting!A broader comparison to not only PCIe would be welcome. How does this perform against the old centrino and ATI mobility ranges?

What did the Travelmate 8100 weigh in the tested configuration?ShizNet - Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - link
just one thing -how come i MUST have 10 pound heat sink w/ TURBO-JET fanZ to achieve a bit higher results in synthetic benchmarks
while the same (or close to) cpu is running in ~1 inch case and it's good enough to play NEW games
someOne is not telling the truth
