I resent that! My laptop has a Pentium IIIm with speed-step.

It runs at 733 mhz when loafing and at 1333 mhz when topped out.

It's faster than a desktop, 2.0 gigahertz, Pentium IV and uses about
half the electricity. If you don't believe it read some back issues of
computer magazines. So much ignorance - so little time.

S.Simon - the one and only.

Hey, silly. Those magazines have a cornucopia of software
they run to determine CPU speed. The Pentuim IIIm is
faster then a desktop Pentium IV running at the same
speed by a significant margin. A Pentium IIIm running
at 1333 MHZ beats a Pentium IV desktop chip every
time.

Yes, that about sums up the expertise found in computer mags!

Geez, but you are a simp!

Toshiba P3 is new...it's a tablette notebook, dummy! The G5 is crashing Final
Cut Pro, so we can't use the bloody thing yet. We'll get one the moment it's up
and running.
Pentium 4 2.8 from HP (Pavilion) and still in the bloody box. I'll set it up
next week.

Like I said...my phone is faster as is my old notebook retired to boat only
use!

I quess that's as good an excuse as I've heard as to why I haven't seen an
video of you sailing upwind with the helm free.

I built my own P4 2.5 ... metal case.

You both lose. I'm running a PIV 3.06 gig. with 2x200 gig harddisks.
This is my "small" machine, WinTel that it is.

Metal case? Does that make it better?

I flip my machines every 24 months or so, buying mid-pack stuff in most cases.
Wasn't trying to win, just show Neal he's well behind.

Yes actually ... especially in my climate. The metal allows for better heat
dissipation. It acts like a heat sink and draws heat from the CPU allowing
it to run cooler. The case is always cool to the touch.. even on hot days.
It's the surface area I believe. The 4 fans help as well. I'm running a RAID
system and have it overclocked to a slight degree.

My friend has a water cooled system on his and runs at very high threshold
overclocked speeds. His performance tests are way up there.
