Jim, Re: A 850 Mhz p3 notebook chip is really a 600 Mhz chip? SpeedStep, running at 600Mhz when powered by battery and 850Mhz when plugged to the wall. gary

Re: Intel advertises their 600MHZ portable chips at their 850MHZ plugged in speed ratings - I wasn't aware of this, can you elaborate? Here's some text and a link. AMD's similar technology is more sophisticated, and probably better - but then it has to be, since AMD starts out consuming more power. So what does Intel® SpeedStep™ technology mean? The new Intel® mobile Pentium® III processor at 850, 800, 750, 700, 650, 600 and 600 (low voltage) MHz featuring Intel SpeedStep technology lets you customize high-performance computing on your mobile PC. At 750 MHz, your new mobile PC runs the most complex business and Internet applications with speed virtually identical to a desktop system. When powered by a battery, the processing frequency drops to 600 MHz, conserving battery life while maintaining a high level of performance. Manual override lets you boost the frequency back to 750 MHz when on battery, allowing you to customize performance. intel.com
