It's ID is a Pentium-M Ultra-Low Voltage 1.0GHz Processor. It's
basically whatever you'll find in the IBM X40 type 2386-1CU. My

Always interesting discussions on this list.
I have two questions for everyone (not just the person I'm responding
to):
How soon do you think we'll see laptops with the Dual Core Turion64?
Elsewhere (perhaps on this list on a different topic) someone
recommended not buying anything except for 6

outdoes the P4s and t

That's the cheapest X60 with Core Duo. HOWEVER:
I'd still highly recommend a AMD Turion. Well... I'd even more
