"How about a 1.3GHz Banias chip that's faster than an XP-M 2400+?"
Wow! That was a great bit of research, wbmw. It really shows what a slug the AMD notebook processors are. No wonder AMD is all but non-existent in the laptop/mobile market place. AMD's go-for-the-gold strategy is once again chopping their own legs out from under them.
wbmw - re: DTR comparisons. Links please(ZDNet didn't make it very easy to find that particular roundup). If it is set up the way it looks, it's not exactly a fair comparison AMD with IGP video against Intel with discrete video cards. And ATI's IGP320 memory performance stinks, fortunately with A64, there'll be more options for chipsets. Paul
