Nikon 3500 (1342 words)
The new Nikon Coolpix 3500 model is based upon the innovative design of the 2.0 megapixel Coolpix 2500 announced last February at the annual PMA show but now has an extra megapixel along with a new gray color.
The CP 3500 retains the unique inner swivel lens design found on the CP 2500 which we did find quite useful for multiple angle shooting flexibility, along with the thin shape and light weight that makes it easy to carry in a pocket.
The CP 3500 retains the 1/4 screen quick review mode, which continues to display a live view for continued picture taking, and the camera can easily make an additional resized copy of a saved image for uses such as faster e-mailing of pictures to friends.
AMD's Athlon 64 3500+ processor - The Tech Report - Page 1 (517 words)
Because the 3500+ is AMD's least expensive 939-pin chip, the cut effectively lowers the price of entry for the entire Socket 939 platform.
The Athlon 64 3500+ and 3400+ also differ in L2 cache size, and when it comes to cache, the 3400+ is better-equipped.
The 3500+ may have twice the memory channels of the 3400+, but it only has half as much L2 cache.
