Joe, <I am not sure about those numbers. Based on my calculation 800 MHz Duron consumes 24 Watts under typical, 27 Watts maximum.> From the same spec sheets you linked to earlier, 800 MHz mobile Pentium III consumes 17.0W typical, 25.9W maximum. So if you compared clock-for-clock, a mobile Pentium III consumes less power than a voltage-starved Duron. I don't know why you continue to call the 1 GHz mobile Pentium III "semi-mobile," since it is higher performance than Duron when the laptop is plugged-in, yet consumes much less power than Duron when the laptop is unplugged. Sure, Duron might perform a little better unplugged, but that won't matter if you don't have enough juice in your battery. Perhaps you ought to wait until mobile Palomino is out in stores before going into your AMDroid mode again. Tenchusatsu
