HyDeNCiTy Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 "The Centrino family will also include chipsets, which handle data inside a PC, and wireless radio modules designed to allow new notebooks to use 802.11 wireless networking. "It's a great chip for Notebooks. It uses less power and it has built in Wireless capability. All in one, it's great. U get a lot more usage and power than u would with a regular Pentium chip in a notebook. The laptop I got my boss has the chip and whenever he goes into let's say Starbucks and t hey have wireless internet, he hops right on it. No need for a wireless card. U get one more open slot for another card and u get more power... it's nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 well i've an integrated wireless card on my dell insipiron 8200 laptop, its not in any slot. and when i go to starbucks, heh i don't but whenever i'm in the wireless range i can connect. so u're saying its just they designed a motherboard with wireless card on board right? i mean a module inside the cpu? so the module will be there even if they don't have wireless card, bc i mean cpu is not acting as wireless card which handle data inside a PCarrm hmm yea? i think that's what the computer's for so other than low power usage low cache, not much use on anything else I believe?

HyDeNCiTy Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 That qoute was from an article, so don't think I'm a dumbass lol. "so u're saying its just they designed a motherboard with wireless card on board right? i mean a module inside the cpu? so the module will be there even if they don't have wireless card, bc i mean cpu is not acting as wireless card"Yes this is correct.... It's just a processor for notebooks, to make them more efficient and more usable because the previous chips used up too much power, thus the short batt. life.
