Hi,
I have two laptops:
1) Compaq Presario 2203 AL
Processor: Intel Pentium M 1.5 Ghz
RAM: 768 MB
Video: Intel OnBoard with 32 Mb Shared Memory
2) Dell D600
Processor: Intel Pentium M 2.0 Ghz
RAM: 512 MB
Video: ATI Radeon R250 FireGL 9000
I run KDE on both the laptops. Even though I have 768 MB of RAM on the
Compaq laptop I get lower performance on it compared to the Dell laptop.
Disk reads are slower than the Dell D600 laptop.
Here are hdparm results:
Compaq:
hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing cached reads: 1932 MB in 2.00 seconds = 965.18 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 70 MB in 3.05 seconds = 22.95 MB/sec (
Round
figure for it could be around 25 MB/sec)
Dell:
hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing cached reads: 1832 MB in 2.00 seconds = 914.77 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 100 MB in 3.03 seconds = 33.05 MB/sec
( Round figure for it could be around 32 MB/sec)
Even the system responsiveness on the Compaq laptop is sluggish.
Does VGA play a _major_ role in system performance ?
Is there anyway I can improve the performance on the Compaq laptop ?
Regards,
rrs
