Both GPUs can perform comfortably here in non- AA and AF modes, even unto the 1600x1200 resolution. Our game playback here is not the same used for our desktop benchmark scores. Instead, we are using a playback of a LAN game where gameplay is more intensive as opposed to single player mode.
The only sub 30fps score here comes from the Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro, which drops to 27.1 in 1280x1024. This is mainly due to our 8xAF setting. Between the two resolutions, the margin between the Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro and Mobility Radeon 9700 remains at 24%.

Andrew, did you run 3Dmark 2001SE? Do you have the score as reference?My guess: Checking the list, you can see that almost ALL the ODMs are included. The manufacturers who make machines for the biggest OEMs are included. 2 missing ones that I noticed are Mitac and Arima, and my guess of the unannounced ODM is ARIMA.... thus, the big OEM announcement will be..... you got the picture :)
W740K8-D? :P

What is the price difference between the two (9600 pro and 9700).PrinceGaz - Tuesday, February 3, 2004 - link
I wonder who the other BIG unannounced notebook manufacturer using it is... from a wild guess I'd bet the name begins with 'D' and has four letters :p
