Buy the Compaq 1200 series A4 at 900 Mz for about the same price. Jim

RE:"I went to BestBuy and reps don't know it"... They didn't know the Pentium III notebooks w/Speed step kicked back 300 Mhz while on battery power either. Every time I go there they gather round for an education... Now they push Athlons/Durons... Jim

panic: "Power Saving" If you pull up specs from Sony, sonystyle.com sonystyle.com for comparable Duron-800 and P-III-800, assuming that the optional battery type is the same (same product line), Duron: 4-6hours with optional battery; P-III: 5-7hours with optional battery. So, I don't think you can get within 15-20% of P-III (with SpeedStep for certain) without special power saving modes on Mobile Duron. Regards, - Ali
