Yes that's true. Intel radically improved power usage on their mobile chips because of Transmeta. But Transmeta was originally saying their tech was so great. And then Intel tweaked their chips a bit and got 80% of Transmeta's power performance. So it's not a revolutionary technology. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
