Was Athlon 64 mobile an ideal 64-bit computer without faults etc? Is it such
that an upgrade has nothing to correct besides somes extra speed, or power?

Now, I can ask, since it has already been in circulation for a time, whereas
when it was first released, no one could have answered this question from
experience.

In other words, is it stabilized and succesful already?

And, does Omid or any Israeli know if it is better to buy one in Israel (where I
live), or in the US or in the UK?

Thanks!
