Joseph - Re: " Can You tell Me what store I can walk in and see some of the ones You mentioned??" All of them - CompUSA, Fry's Electronics, T-Zone, MicroCenter. Check out all the various WEB pages - Compaq's, Dell's, IBM's, Gateway's, Micron's, etc. Look a little. You'll find them everywhere. If you really want a laugh, Call up CyberMAX and ask when they will have a 233 MHz K6 notebook for sale. I'm sure they will love to explain the situation to you! Paul

Joseph , re. Intel doesn't have anything to match Your statement is backed up by the March issue of Laptop Buyers Guide. On page 158 of that magazine it lists 4 Pentium MMX 266mhz notebooks with Norton's SI32 figures from the fastest , Gateway 2000 solo 2300xl at a score of 66.3 to the slowest Compaq Armada 7380 at 64.5 . They only tested one K6 notebook , the Winbook XL and despite having only 256K L2 cache and 32 MB EDOram it scored 78.6 . Most of the 266s had 512k L2 cache and 64 MB SDRam ,but were still outscored . Brian
