Has anyone read or seen anything about intel mobile 64 bit.

Depends what kind of P4 desktop chip you're referring to. If it's a northwood 3.4-3.6 GHz chip then yes the P-M soundly beats it. If it's a P4 EE chip at those speeds then they are a lot closer in speed (almost neck to neck). The differenceis then in thermal properties where the P-M easily wins out. However, a P4 chip will give better FP performance so that may be important to you if you do non-gaming stuff like 3D Modeling and encoding. For a laptop, my personal preference is the P-M by far since it delivers on performance, has low heat production and lasts much longer on battery.
