the zv5000z i just ordered has either the desktop athlon64 or the athlon64
for desktop replacements(probably the latter). not sure what the difference
is but it is NOT the mobile athlon64.

the way it stays cool is that, using AMD PowerNow, it runs at ~800Mhz until
the processor demand goes up to a certain level, then i shoots up to full
speed. from what i've read, it runs cool and fast as hell.
