    i believe the p M uses less power (laptops uses batteries)
    and it doesn't go as fast as the p4. p4 goes up to 3.6, and maybe 3.8/4.0 ghz. it can be oced to higher of course

    The Pentium M is based on the Pentium 3 because it is a more efficient design. However it does not have the raw power of the P4 chips.

    Once you get above a critical level you will probably find that the graphics and audio chips have much more effect on gaming than the processor.

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
