Here are all the "tech specs" nVidia lists on the GeForce Go 6 series mobile GPU's:ipatinga wrote:I was thinking about getting this Asus Z71V... but, i saw that the 6600 on it has very low gpu/memory clock. I was checking the Acer 8104, with X700.
What is the frequency for gpu/memory of this Asus barebone? Did you guys play some games with it?

Although I couldn't find much on clock speeds there

wow Nate, you really do push building a whitbox notebook; this is the fourth article on it, and it will become part of my instruction set that I'll print out and put to good use shortly after my desktop is built (hell, I need something for the college campus eh ); Imagine that though: a notebook that serves the primary purpose of a college notebook, yet has the performance of a high-end notebook so after you get done with the homework, you can use your campus's native wireless connection to frag people on BF2 or CS:S in good ol multiplayer mode. sounds like what I want right there, one thing though, what do the temps usually stay around with a notebook, because I've known the older ones to get pretty warm (PIII-M's, XP Mobile, etc)? Good work Nate

Sweet, would be greatly appreciated !
I have been reading on other forums, specifically - http://www.laptopvideo2go.com and there have been a lot of people saying that they are having serious issues with the 6600... either way I do realize there are a lot of people that don't know how to properly setup their system...
Anyways that article would be great.. I am looking to buy in the next couple days and would be more than willing to take pics of the system and run any and all benchmarks and submit on your site.. I just want to make sure this is the way to go..
I really dig the balance of weight/cost/performance/features of this sytem..
Thanks!

wow, thanks for that...I was contemplating building one to play BF2. Where did you hear/see that.Maklooce wrote:Apoptosis,
Thanks for the reply.
The main issue seems to be with drivers problems... A lot of people are saying that they can't run BF2 or CS because of technical issues...
Do you happen to have that article?
Any thoughts on the compitability with this card?
Such a nice notebook, but i'm so torn between this notebook and the z70va. Any ideas on comparisons between the 2?
What's attracting me to the z71v:
-MXM Slot for graphics upgrades...z70va is NON upgradeable
-Geforce 6600 graphics
What's attracting me to the z70va versus the z71v:
-MUCH better casing (imho, plastic on the 71 looks cheap )
Perhaps I should get both and transplant the boards :D
