Kevin - Re: "How come it is that Intel doesn't have a MHz advantage over AMD in the notebook arena? " The battery life considerations - which are to a great extent related to power/heat dissipation - place an upper limit on the speed/power specs of a given CPU for notebook applications. As it turns out, that upper limit - 266/300 MHz - happens to fall within the upper limit of AMD's K6-2 offerings. It is, however, the lower limit of Intel's Pentium II line. Currently Intel has the 266 MHz Pentium II as the top end of the production, and 300 MHz Mobile Pentium II's are set for announcement in late September. Paul
