Bill, There is good chance that Compaq might release K6-based notebook during this week. Hopefully, you might be able to buy one by end of Nov. Just in case you could not get K6 notebook in time, I would suggest you to spend as low as possible just to meet the immediate jobs. A Pentium 100Mhz or 133Mhz (no 120Mhz or 150Mhz ver) with 256K L2 cache notebook could handle most business application as fast as the cacheless PentiumMMX 200 and give users more working hours on a single charge. From my experiences, you won't notice the system performance difference between P-100 or P-166 since Pentium is optimzed at 100Mhz with 66Mhz bus speed. I had a discussing with John on AMD thread towards the questions why Intel Pentium family have such a slow memmory subsystem. Eventually, John Petz came out with an answer surprised me that Pentiums (P54C, P55C, PPro and PII) are based on the stolen technology from DEC's Alpha MPU architecture. The Alpha technology called for a 2MB L3 cache which was missed in Pentium family! The price for Pentium notebook processors are going to drop by hundreds dollars in one or two quarters since K6+3D and MXi notebooks are going to be leased shortly. Reserve the budget to get a much better notebook till then.
