not really. 1) Crusoe chip running at 533MHz is roughly equivalent to 350MHz Pentium-II performance 2) while it is true the Crusoe chip consumes <1W normally and 3 - 5W at full speed, the new SpeedStep Pentium III's also consume <1W normally and about 10W full speed. And they're faster. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
