Dan, Re: "That they are trying to sell two nearly identical pieces of silicon, one for $125 and the other for $400 has nothing to do with it, eh? Speed-step doesn't do anything for Intel's .13 leakage problems, so the mobile chips aren't much better than the desktop chips." Do you have a link that proves that the mobile Pentium 4-M is identical to the Pentium 4? Maybe Intel actually did reduce leakage currents, maybe they improved thermal tolerances, or maybe they were able to significantly reduce the voltage. All of these things would gives them the right to charge more for the product. Unfortunately, Intel hasn't posted the datasheets for the Pentium 4-M, yet on their web site, so unless you have some inside information confirming your theory, you're just spreading another round of FUD, which seems to be very common with you. wbmw P.S. So what gives AMD the right to charge more for the Athlon MP over the Athlon XP? Aren't they identical pieces of silicon?
