Centrino is a big deal. Its where all of Intel's processors are going, and theres a reason. It's power usage is far less than any other Intel or AMD CPU.
I still would prefer my 8600 over this, due to the Ferrari 3000 not being widescreen.
Now if you are talking about the Acer Ferrari 3200 thats a whole different ball game - awesome laptop.
I changed my 8600 for a Acer Travelmate 8006lmi (2.0ghz Dothan, 128mb 9700 Radeon) - Hitting over 3500 3d marks and 26,000 aquamarks. Very happy with it.....and it feels so much lighter than the 8600 6.5lbs.
Its a different story cause the spec of the Ferrari 3200 is way better than the outdated ferrari 3000.
Mobile Athlon 64 2800+ Processor.
Radeon 9700 128mb Graphics card.
The ferrari 3000 is old spec hence the price reductions the 3200 is replacing it. I estimate that you will get about hald the performance from a 3000 against a 3200.
