well is the new Ion much more efficient or cheaper??

Somewhat more efficient, but price won't change. ION netbooks will remain way too expensive for a little machine this is heavily held back by the processor...

All this talk about the FX series reminds me that I still have an old AGP FX 5500 around here....

 

I think I ended up replacing it with a new integrated chip when I went to a PCI-E platform (this was still on my old 939 Socket). While I hope Fermi turns out better then that, I would like to see ATi get their time in the spotlight.

yes, since it's not supposed to be a heavy hitter and Ion was made for getting the most efficiency with performance, hence the atom counter part

You both know I mean more efficient than the first ION's right?? That's all I'd care about

Well as i didn't find a better topic to post it i'll just do it here.

Today when i checked my e-mail i saw a letter fron nVidia, it was the new driver release notification and once i got to the page where i can choose my card and OS etc i saw that under Product series there's now a GeForce 300 series.

Oh and here's a link.

That's not Fermi. it's the new notebook/OEM desktop graphics. It's completely irrelevant. Most of which is relabeled GT21's. And they're considered low-end.

i've seen the 3xx series fora while now offered inside pre-built desktops. it got a quick spurt of hope until i realized what a 350 is lol

I was talking about the Nvidia 5000 series :P

You, of all people, should know it's referred to as the "5 Series" (or FX series)....that would have alleviated any confusion :P
