Photos: Eurocom's quad-core notebook

Summary: How do you fit a quad-core processor in a laptop? It is easy, says Eurocom, but you will need a lot of fans to keep it cool

The Eurocom D900C Phantom-X is no ordinary notebook. Its dimensions of 39.7cm wide by 29.8cm deep by 5.1-6cm thick, 5.4kg weight and 17-inch screen should tell you that there's more than meets the eye to this system. In fact, it's a workstation-class machine that Eurocom claims is "the world's first quad-core notebook".

The quad-core processors in question are Intel's latest Q6600 (2.4GHz) or Q6700 (2.66GHz), with a 1066MHz frontside bus (FSB) and 8MB of Level 2 cache. The D900C Phantom-X can also be kitted out with Intel's dual-core E6x50 chips, which have a 1333MHz FSB and 4MB of Level 2 cache.

About Colin Barker

I have been a computer journalist for most of my working life although I did start in the wonderful world of accountancy. I have been editor of Compting magazine in London and prior to that held a number of editing jobs, including time spend at the late, lamented DEC Computing and was at one time London editor for Byte magazine.

Outside of work, my main interests are travelling, football and baseball. I lived for some years in Boston, Mass, and became an incurable Boston Red Sox fan as a result.

I have no particular qualifications for being a journalist other than a university degree and a lifelong curiosity about people.
