Rockdirect today introduces the Xtreme 64, a desktop replacement notebook with leading edge graphics. The Xtreme 64 features ATI’s latest Mobility Radeon X800 XT Platinum Edition graphics and supports both AMD’s new dual core Athlon 64 X2 and FX55 processors. These combine to deliver the ultimate in realism for today’s most advanced PC gamers and video editors. In addition the notebook will be offered with Windows XP Professional x64 Edition as a free upgrade from Windows XP Professional.

The ATI Mobility Radeon X800 XT graphics card features 16 pixel pipelines, an industry first for notebooks and has been designed for high-end users who need to be mobile and want to play the most visually intensive games.

In addition, the Xtreme 64 will support AMD’s FX55 or dual core Athlon 64 X2 processors allowing the user to choose either when they buy. This will ensure optimal performance for their primary use; graphics intensive multiple applications or the latest games. This combination is a unique proposition to rockdirect customers as rockdirect is the first to offer this specification in a portable computer.

Nick Boardman, Managing Director of rockdirect said: “We have aimed to deliver a notebook that pushes the mobile PC’s performance to the limit and allows the user to experience performance only previously available in bulky desktops”.

We may not be as large as Dell but this has been our business for over 14 years, and we have built great relationships with suppliers such as ATI and AMD which has enabled us to be the first to ship new technology to our customers as soon as it is released to the market”.

The Xtreme 64 is much more than an update of the award winning Xtreme Ti chassis, it combines all the right ingredients, ATI Mobility Radeon X800 XT graphics, AMD FX55 or dual core Athlon 64 X2 processor and Windows XP Professional x64 edition to provide a gaming, computing and multimedia experience that maximises the benefits of 64bit computing.

The money-is-no-object clique will definitely be interested in these high-style, high- quality notebooks.

Not too many notebooks come hand-painted! You can pick your own color!

Here are some of Rockdirect Products you should consider for personal, business or educational use. Most of RockDirect's computers are highly rated, the Rock Quaddra Ti 3.4 may appeal to those looking for 'desktop replacement' or the gamers should have a look at Rock Xtreme Ti. Those in the market for a quality 'thin & light' should consider the Pegasus. Or if you want a Tablet PC, you can try the very practical Tablet T200.

It should be noted that Rock's gaming notebooks come with the latest graphics chips but you can also upgrade the graphics processor unit when new graphics cards hit the market - thus saving you money and will give you the highest possible gaming performance for years to come.

It should also be noted, that's there's usually a new generation of 'mobile notebook technology' coming along every two years or so!

When buying your next notebook, go the custom built route if you can afford it. It might be wise to take a hard look at the Rockdirect's quality custom notebooks before you purchase anything!
