Syntax AP7600 Pentium 4 Notebook

Company: Syntax
Product: AP7600 Notebook

Test Setups:

Please keep in mind that we aren't exactly comparing apples to apples with these systems because it just isn't possible to have "identical" setups. What we are trying to demonstrate is the performance that can be expected from this notebook when compared to a typical desktop system.

Test Systems
Motherboards:

Syntax AP7600 (SiS648FX)
ABIT IS7 (865PE)

ABIT IC7 MAX 3 (875P)

MSI 848P Neo-LS (848P)
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz "C" (800 MHz FSB)
Memory:

2 x 256MB Kingston HyperX PC3500
1 x 512MB Kingston PC2100 SODIMM (AP7600)
Video Card:

ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 (AP7600)
Hard Drive: Maxtor D740X 40GB
Hitachi DK23EA 40GB (AP7600)
Operating System: Windows XP Pro SP1
Drivers:

Intel INF Update v5.00.1012
ATI Catalyst 3.7 Driver Suite

Our AP7600 came fitted with a 15" SXGA+ display, CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Drive, ATI Mobility 9600 w/128MB, 802.11b Wireless Lan, Hitachi 40GB HD, Kingston PC2100 512MB RAM.

Although memory speeds of up to 400MHz DDR (PC3200) are supported with this chipset, the installed memory was only 266MHz (PC2100). Unfortunately we don't have any PC3200 SODIMM memory to test with, so right off the bat our laptop is at a minor performance disadvantage. Also the SiS only has a single memory channel, not dual channel like the Intel 865/875 chipsets.
