Paul, Re: "The Intel (ultra-low voltage chip), though cleverly advertised at 600MHz, performs at a lowly 300MHz when mobile. This shows the amount of performance that has to be sacrificed to reach lower power levels with their transistor-laden architecture," a Transmeta spokesman said in an e-mail." Leave it to Transmeta to fail to mention that their chip run at speeds of 300MHz when "mobile", too. LOL! At MPF, Transmeta showed slides of an 800MHz Crusoe outperforming a 600MHz Ultra Low Voltage Pentium III. Of course, when you read the fine print, you see that the Crusoe was run at full speed (800MHz), while the Pentium III was run at "Mobile" speed (300MHz). It just hilights the dirty dealings that Transmeta uses to claim performance for their dog of a chip. wanna_bmw
