The most prominent feature of this system is its use of the newly
released Athlon 64 Mobile chip. This processor is a model 3000+ Athlon 64
Mobile that runs at 1.8 GHz with 1 MB of L2 cache. This is different, however,
than the desktop model of the 3000+ that runs at 2.0 GHz and has 512 KB of L2
cache. Other Athlon 64 notebooks released before the Mobile part was out used
the identical parts as the desktop Athlon 64 processors. This forced the
system to be very heavy and bulky and also raised the price tag to above $3000
in many cases. With the release of the Athlon 64 Mobile, with PowerNow
functions integrated and running at a lower voltage, the notebooks could be
designed somewhat smaller.
