Photos: Eurocom's quad-core notebook

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.
