18. Battle Of The Battery, Continued
Without a display the notebook is only a bulky MP3 player, but it shows its influence on the power budget.
Of course we ran our regular set of benchmarks to give you an impression of the performance.
The performance of the used S3 Savage/MX can't be compared to a Desktop PC with its unlimited power budget. Quake is running in stretch mode of the display. The used display has a resolution of 1024x768 pixels. If there is a different resolution selected the display will either be stretched to fit the display resolution or will be centered with a black frame to fill the display. I used Mercedes Benz Truck Racing to show you the difference between those two modes.
| MBTR | ||
|---|---|---|
| Center / fps | Expand / fps | |
| 500MHz | 24,1 | 24 |
| 600MHz
Speedstep |
24,9 | 24,7 |
| 750MHz | 25,7 | 25,5 |
The performance differences between center and expand mode are only minor. When the VGA controller expands the display to fit it to the complete screen the picture appears slightly blurred though.
The 3D performance scales with the CPU.

This Site is Fantastic, but is there really no 3V system battery inside the ASUS L8400B ?
If Yes, where is it located?
Thanks !
