Re: "You are confusing SPEED with MHz."

Aren't you the guy who recently said "MHz sells"?

I suppose the K6-2s would probably be slower because the other parts in the notebook are probably cheaper parts. But if the 333 Mhz K6-2 runs on a 95 MHz bus and the PII-300 notebook runs on a 66 Mhz, I bet the K6-2 is faster, if all other parts are equal. The same probably would hold for a K6-2 on a 66 Mhz bus.

Keep in mind that nobody is doing FPU intensive aps on a notebook--its all about integer.

Wonder when Intel will put a Celeron in a notebook (or if they'll just wait for Dixon)? How much power does a socketed Celeron consume, anyway?
