Tim, Re: Next time I see erroneous data that also has omissions to be used to construct a set of premises (wrong speed grade, different memory speeds), upon which to establish a conclusion (the Pentium M is equal or better than the AMD 64), then I guess it doesn't matter.

How about pointing it out and giving me the benefit of the doubt? I don't like it when people make the premise that my mistakes are due to deception rather than oversight.

Re: It just seemed like you were saying the comparison was an apple's to apple's comparison, when it in fact it isn't.

I was not. My comparison was to prove that Athlon 64 was not running circles around Pentium M, but rather than Pentium M could hold its own in at least some benchmarks, even with several hundred megahertz less in clock frequency. I think my data backs that up.

Re: Truce?

Sure.

speaking of Centrino battery life, I was surprised to read this at Voodoo's website

"The new Voodoo ENVY m:855 makes other notebooks look like they’re standing still. The first to feature an AMD Athlon 64 for notebooks, this desktop replacement is like a finely tuned F1 race car. With features such as the ATI Mobility 9600 Pro, an AMD 64 Bit Processor – and battery life that in real world tests bests our Centrino notebook, you better believe the engineering that went into this baby was well worth it. The Voodoo ENVY m:855 bests all desktop replacement notebooks in almost every category – it’s lighter, smaller, faster and once you go 64 bit, you never go back."
