ten, State of the ART. you seem to be out of date as to what is available for multimedia notes books with DVD capability now. AMD has the following features over PentiumII.
1. less expesnsivE by $200
2. AMD offers 3Dnow. iportant for full motion video.
3. most battery life manuf specs indicate AMD operate considerably longer than the PentiunII 300's, or Dixon
4. for intel to overcome the lasck of 3D now it has to use expensive
Graphic accelerator cards with more memory which boost notebooks cost up higher than the chip price differential. so if you want state of the are multimedia with DVD capability why would you want an Intel mobile, other than for the pleasure to pay throught the nose ofr one.
Since AMD is so far head in the price curve and performance I don't think AMD has to worry about a new mobil chip for quite awile should Intel put out a pentium III kni mobil version it won't sell for much mre than a AMd 333 because there will be no descernable performance difference as once the video standard is met any change is inperceptable to the human eye. So the only difference will be the price performance will not be the issue does it give good eye is the critical factor. right now we know AMD does we do not know if PentiumIII does. I will even go as far as to conceed the issue that it does becasue Intel says it does and the video standard has been met. if not ther spending $300 million for nothing. In which case they have bigger problems.
