* Enhanced Virus Protection will by default only protect the user's Windows operating system. After properly installing the appropriate Windows release, users must enable the protection of their applications and associated files from memory buffer overrun attacks. Contact your application software vendor for information regarding use of the application in conjunction with Enhanced Virus Protection. AMD and Microsoft strongly recommend that users continue to use third party anti-virus software as part of their security strategy.

**Establishing a wireless connection may require additional hardware, software, or services that must be purchased separately. Wireless connectivity can only be achieved in the vicinity of a public access point, which has a limited number of locations. Connecting to a wireless network may reduce your system performance, functionality and battery life
 

AMD Turion ™ 64 Mobile Technology Processor Feature Comparison

Model Numbers

AMD Turion™ 64 mobile technology employs new alpha-numeric processor model numbers to help end users simplify their notebook PC purchase decisions by providing a simple and easy designation of both relative processor performance and degree of mobility (as measured by power consumption, enabling thin and light notebook PCs, and long battery life) among this processor family.

An example of AMD Turion 64 mobile technology model numbers is illustrated in Figure 1 below. The alpha-numeric processor model numbers consists of 2 letters followed by numbers. The letters indicate the processors class with the second letter designating increasing degree of mobility within the processor class as the letter approaches Z. For example, model MT-xx designates greater relative mobility than model ML-xx.

The numbers indicate the relative processor performance within the processor class. Higher numbers indicate higher relative performance. For example, model MT-34 represents better overall performance than the model MT-32

Actual size and weight reductions and longer battery life for notebook PCs vary from different manufacturers notebook product offerings. In addition to AMD Turion™ 64 mobile technology, other components can affect the size, weight, and battery life of a notebook PC.
