Windsock, Re: Why did the PII-M get should good marks? Don't know, But it did for the software that people use on notebooks. And the products tested are supplied by major vendors and available. I think we can agree here. In current notebook implementations the Tualatin offers the best mobile performance available. If it's also the "better" processor, is another question which is difficult to answer and depends on personal preferences. Andreas

Windsock, Why did the PII-M get should good marks? Don't know, But it did for the software that people use on notebooks I think the PC Mag results show that the GeForce2Go video chip is both more powerful and power hungry than others in the review. The low power consumption of the PIII-M allows the use of the GeForce2Go in the system while still delivering respectable overall system power consumption. Pravin.

Windsock, you don't know diddly-squat about "automatic" mode on PIIIM -- it varies clock between 733 and 1.13 dynamically. A4 does the same but clock can do down to 300 MHz. Petz

RE:"And a lot of buyers will look at the PC mag review because, as you pointed out earlier, that is who reviews notebooks. Not Tom's, Anand, etc." I think notebooks, especially high end ones are like throwing money down the drain. That said. I wonder if any of the corporate buyers read a notebook review...much less any review. I think Mhz comes into play and then it's the habit of buying Intel since their job is on the line. If money get's tight, maybe some of these corporations will look at value. Even then, Intel certainly holds the upper hand of habit. Jim
