Re: BTW, do you think that anyone that orders a Pentium M system from Dell this month should cancel their order and wait for the DC to come out? After all, it's obsolete hardware, right?

If it were me, I would. In fact, I've been recommending to people for the past couple months that they wait for dual core laptops. I suppose some people need a laptop right away, and obviously Pentium M is no worse of a choice now than it was a few days ago, but the much greater performance at equal battery life ought to make it a no-brainer for most people to go for Core Duo.

And by the way, they're available now.

Mike, you're wasting your breath. wbmw's not too keen on 64-bit laptops because Intel doesn't have it. If Intel did have it, his argument would have changed completely to support it. Logic doesn't quite have a place in that kind of mentality.

Just for reference, how did XP perform vs Win98 when it first came out?
