Serious Sam 2 tends to be much more CPU dependent than Unreal Tournament 2003
(which is highly video card dependent). As a result of the extremely fast 3.06GHz
desktop processor offered by the Hypersonic Sonic Aviator the system outperforms
the Dell Mobility Radeon 9000 system by 66% and the Dell GeForce4 440 Go system
by 72%. Impressive to say the least, even if the mobile system does fall 25%
behind the desktop we compared it to.

Cranking the resolution up to 1024x768x32 shows results that mimic those recorded
at 800x600x32. Now the Hypersonic Sonic Aviator and its powerful desktop processor
runs 64% faster than the Dell Inspiron 8200 Mobility Radeon system and 78% faster
than the Dell Inspiron 8200 GeForce4 440 Go system. Again the desktop system
trumps the Sonic Aviator, this time by 29%.

The results are similar at 1280x1024x32: the Sonic Aviator beats the notebooks
we compared it to by a massive 65% and 76% respectively. The lead offered by
the desktop Radeon 9000 Pro system grows to 31% at this resolution but the performance
of the Sonic Aviator in Serious Sam 2 remains very impressive.
