Yousef and Paul,, More debunking of Intel bunk. It would appear that processor voltage has little to do with the battery life of notebook computers (in the grand scheme of all required components). Page 220 of the Jan 98 Computer Shopper gives the ZD test results of 5 brand new 233 mhz Intel Mobile Processor computers. The BatteryMark 2.0 tests of the five range from 2 hrs. 40 min. (worst) to 4 hrs. 47 min. (best). That's a pretty sizeable real world spread. These machines all have identical Intel Mobile 233 mhz processors. It is also noteworthy that the best performing of the five (to include battery life) is the only machine tested that does not use Intel's new Mobile Module interface (IMM). The machine is built by Micron. So 1.8 volts, 2.1 volts, 2.2 volts .... what is the real significance of this? Buckwheat
