[QUOTE="citystar2k, post: 34098, member: 3388"] Right, according to a few reports i've read, pentium-m's do run at a lower speed than a pentium 4, but they have more processing power. I've known for a long time clock speeds dont determine how fast a computer runs, i've seen pentium 1.5's crap all over 2.8's many a time, thats down to other components such as RAM, etc. All i can say is that you'll never see a p4 with a clock speed higher than 3.6, intel have said they've hit a brick wall with the heat output and power consumption, plus they dropped work on two new chipsets to concentrate on the P-M's, and ahem, dual-core processors, hmm, now where have i seen this idea before? All i can say is, Apple have always been ahead in the game, doesn't suprise me that others want to copy something so good, and before some of you say anything about how biased i am, i'm a long time user of windows, a short time user of mac, but always been a long time mac fan, just took me time to get my powerbook. Ezekel, Pentium-M's may have a slower clock speed but thats because it doesnt use so much power, but that doesnt mean it's faster than Pentium 4's/Athlon Amd's. My Acer runs with a Athlon 2.8 chip, this beats my friend's Pentium-M 1.7 by a good mark, but my 1.33GHz Powerbooks beats my 2.8 Acer Aspire by a good mile. And this is the opinion of a regular windows user, soon to be regular mac user. [/QUOTE]
