Question regarding Dixon vs. K6-3 power consumption: How much power does the Dixon mobile processor consume? How much power will the mobile K6-3 consume? And do laptops with the mobile K6-2 or K6-3 run on a 100 MHz bus with PC100 SDRAM? If so, does that 100 MHz bus consume significantly more power than a 66 MHz bus? Tenchusatsu

Paul - RE: "Intel's 300 MHz Pentium MMX is out there and MUCH cheaper than the overpriced K6-2's." Intel came out with the 300 MMX because OEM's wanted a faster processor to put into their mini-laptops. I doubt it will compete with a K6-2 notebook. "Overpriced K6-2"? Intel priced the Celeron notebook chips against the notebook K6-2 prices, and the Celerons don't have 3D Now nor a 100/95MHz bus. Which chip is overpriced now? RE: "but my variation of their theme" Whatever. It just proves you read The Register, the site you despise of so much. RE: "The mobile DIxons start at 266 MHz" How much do they cost?
