More info on Intel notebook problems: tenprise.com I've seen this most recently while demonstrating software at a conference. I had my Athlon4 1ghz notebook, while my co-worker had a PIII-M 1ghz notebook. The Athlon was obviously and noticeably faster. I think this has more to do with the limited power management capabilities of Intel's Speedstep compared to AMD's PowerNow, than raw performance. Intel's clumsy and inefficient power management results in Pentium based notebooks, whether PIII or P4 based, spending a lot of time throttled down when they shouldn't be.
