I recently become a "proud" owner of Compaq Presario model R3140US with Athalon64.It have 60G HD and 512M. Video have 32M.
My desctop is 2500Athalon with 1G of memory,80gHD and 64M video.
I did the render test and the laptop outruned desctop by 19seconds .The lengh of video is 1min14sec.
I guess that 64Athalon even in 32bit windows do rendering faster.I wonder how much faster will be if I put a 1Gmem in it.
I did download the evaulation of win64, but did not do any good at this time as there are no drivers available for vendors.
It does looked like that the 64XP runned faster on some programs that 32.
Did not tested Vegas on 64, because of lock of some drivers, but look like it could run faster even in emulation mode.
The bigest drawback on this laptop it is the slow HD,but i bought the cheapest one. For $200 more you get more video,bigger and faster HD.
I ma happy with what I have.
Have a fun
