Memory Upgrade Dell 4550 Tower

Re: Memory Upgrade Dell 4550 Tower

The Banias core isn't a renamed Tualatin, it shares the P6 microarchitecture but it's heavily improved: new prediction branch, SSE2 instructions, segmented cache which can be powered off, a real SpeedStep: all things the Mobile P3 doesn't have.
The Mobile P4 couldn't live for long either: early Prescott based samples draw and heated too much for a notebook chassis, no further improvement was expected from the Northwood core and a low consumption version for the then promising subnotebook market was unfeaseable, leaving the path to the Transmeta Crusoe and Via C3. IMHO Pentium-M was necessary.

Junk Parts is getting his big disability chech from the Gov. soon. After taxes it will still be about $21,000 for the first three years. I'm buying my wife the loaded top dog that Dell has to offer for a Gammer with the purchased downgrade to XP they offer. Worst case I'll take Vista, and then reprogram on my own. For me me, I'll snatch a referbed Dell.

I didn't say it was a renamed Tualatin.
I said
P -> P2 -> P3 ---> PM
Does not follow a naming sequence.

>> it shares the P6 microarchitecture <<
Yes, it's 'roots' trace back to Tualatin, not P4.
That was the point of what I said earlier.
- The P3 family tree did not die out with Tualatin.

Well, P4 and Mobile P4 already existed and Intel didn't want to name it Pentium 5 for a good reason. Anyway most people don't realize the name is Pentium M: for them is a "Centrino" processor

Re: Memory Upgrade Dell 4550 Tower

Those are the same modules just single stick vs kit part numbers.
That said: I'm not sure what the question is but this might help.

Not that I'd want to be in the position to get a disability check, but two of those checks would pay off my house :o
