Paul Re<<WHy did AMD BRING UP THE TOPIC OF BATTERY LIFE ?>> Paul again I quote from the article <<The running time of a notebook computer using a 380-MHz K6-2, for example, was reduced by 12 minutes to 2 hours and 40 minutes.>> That is less than 7% decrease. What part of this do you not understand? AMD mentioned it to address the false assumption that higher powered CPU shorten battery life SIGNIFICANTLY. That is not true. Read the above statement again. Do you know how much power those 15 inch screens on laptops use? How about those high performance ATI graphic card? I bet you don't. If you did you will not be arguing this point with me. I would NEVER argue a point which I do not feel 100% comfortable with. You are arguing a field which you know nothing about. You are making a serious fool out of yourself. Mani
