Tim, On 66Mhz bus speed, Pentium MMX performance peaks at 200Mhz. Anyone pays any extra money for PMMX-233 or 266 is nothing but fool. Under most situations, these poor Joes are the victiums of Intel deceiving advertisements. Poor performance and terrible battery life with PMMX-266 is simply a matter of fact that these notebooks are powered by Intel processors.

We were even more disappointed with the decreases in battery life caused by the 266-MHz chip's slightly higher core voltage. Intel increased the voltage on the P55C to get to 266MHz. Is this true? Anyone? Bob
