Oh come on, have you not read any CNet reviews at all? Editing video, rendering, Power hungry games, etc, in all the PentiumM is only half as fast as the P4. I.e. the P4 is 200% faster.

Please do not spread lies around like this:

The PentiumM is about lasting a damn long time, it creams the P4, but it isn't about all out power, it gets creamed in that.

If you re-read his post a bit more closely, he was comparing the Pentium M to the Pentium 4M, not the desktop P4.

This is the best article explaining the way the BAnias chip works,
http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.html?i=1800

According to your link there is not much of a difference at allcompared to the desktop 2.4 processor http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/show...ml?i=1801&p=16



" The core is clearly not designed for high clock speeds and thus provided Intel's marketing with a very difficult job. How do you explain to end users that there's a new mobile processor on the market that is faster than a Pentium 4 clock for clock, and because of its high IPC it is actually faster than most of the higher clocked Pentium 4s?"

I did not mean to say Pentium 4 chips. I think a Pentium 4 chip in a notebook is not a good idea. When you look at the heatsinks those chips NEED in a desktop, I cannot imagine the notebook containing such a chip to be long lasting. I know there are those who want to have everything a blazing PC and in a notebook and there are plenty of vendors willing to serve that appitie as it is cheaper for them. Based on what I have read, I would not own a notebook with a destop processor and guess what? The Pentium M can and will continue to run anything the desktop will, albeit slightly slower. But an hours rendering time for a long video on a Pentium M will take maybe 45-50 minutes at best on the Pentium 4. I do not think the trade off in weight, battery uselessness, and ultimatly a meltdown of the system is worth the bragging rights..........

In that you are right. I also do not think that the added heat is worth it from the P4 equipped notebooks. Some do.

I thought you said (as some people do) that the pM notebooks perform equally to the P4 notebooks, in ALL situations, which isn't the case.

But yeah, apart from bragging rights, in terms of day to day use there isn't any need to go with a P4.

Got the memory in from NewEgg. It's definitely faster. Way faster. I just popped them in but I recorded mem temps of 66 degrees and now it's at 57 degrees. I'm not too concerned about the temperatures, as they're usually pretty low and I can't feel the heat too much. I'll let you guys know as I start using the memory a little more.

Great buy!

Amazing. Temperatures are still low (57).

Glad i could help
