Brian, from the Techweb article you quoted, Intel is staying within the 8 watt power budget for the Pentium II... From the private AMD BBS, based on ISSCC conference data: K6-3D MAX POWER AT 266 MHz: (2w + 12.2w * 266/350)(1.8/2.2)2=7.5w TYPICAL POWER: (1w + 7.5w 266/350)(1.8/2.2)*2=4.5w I believe the 8 watt Intel number is for "typical", not MAXIMUM power, because, later on, the article states that power consumption for 3D gaming is more than five watts higher than "typical" power. Therefore its safe to assume a K6-3D laptop at 266 MHz will run cooler than these new 4-6 Kilobuck Pentium II notebooks. Also, a 300 MHz k6-3D notebook should be possible. Petz
