I don't expect it to outperform a desktop or even equal it. I just have
trouble with how under performing most average laptops are these days.
(Even WITH adequate RAM)
And from talking to people who know about these things it's because of
the power consumption issue. Fast processing capability consumes power
so basically they design new "power saving" (read wimpy..) processors
in laptops to extend battery life.
Are there any chipset wonks out there who know about these things. I
only know what I have heard via the gravevine...

I have an AMD dual core processor in my laptop and it is nice.
However I do not expect it to act like my desktop which is a Dual core
2 Ghz, 3 GB of ram and over 500 md of HD space.
I do not expect a laptop to outperform my desktop.

I have experience this dogginess on new compacts Dell laptops (and
other brands) running XP with 1 gb RAM. I could be wrong but RAM
shouldn't be a factor until the point that it starts paging data /
using the SWAP file and that wasn't the case on my trials
I just think the designers of current laptops are making processing
power trade-offs that most people just live with. I usually use
desktops and find a 6 year desktop that originally was a powerful
machine can outperform a lot of these new lower to mid range laptops.
