Functionality - Performance

For performance testing we compare the Presario V2410 to various systems including a Sony VAIO laptop using a Pentium-M Centrino configuration. The systems are configured as follows:

Test Systems
Model	ABIT KV8 Pro	Foxconn 760GXK8MB	Asus P5GD2 Premium	Sony VAIO	Compaq Presario V2410
Chipset	VIA K8T800 Pro	SiS 760GX	Intel 915P	Intel 855	ATI Radeon Xpress 200M
CPU	Athlon 64 3200+ Socket 754	Athlon 64 3200+ Socket 754	Pentium 4 560E	Pentium M 735	Turion 64 ML-30
CPU Frequency	2.0 GHz	2.0 GHz	3.2 GHz	1.7 GHz	1.6 GHz
Memory	2x512MB Corsair CMX512 PC3500	2x512MB Corsair CMX512 PC3500	2x256MB Kingston DDR2 4300	2x256 DDR333	2x256 DDR333

Keep in mind that comparing results from these systems are like comparing apples to oranges to celery. Each CPU and chipset are different so don't place too much emphasis on desktop compared to mobile counterparts.

CPU & Memory Testing

As we can see in the above tests, the Compaq Presario V2410 is nearly evenly matched with the Pentium-M 1.7GHz laptop. Keep in mind that Pentium-M 735 laptops are priced at $100 or more than the V2410 ($999 USD).
