Pentium -M- Processor.

[ChrisD]

Good Morning,

 

We are looking for a laptop, to put our MCX on.

Everywhere I've looked, its all Pentium -M- inside notebooks now. I think I will insist on Pentium 4. But If we can save some money.....

well you know the rest.

 

Is there anybody out there using the Pentium -M-

chip? For Mcam?

 

PS. I know there is probably threads that I can be referred to but if anybody can give me their experience---good or bad i'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks.

Chris, the Pentium M is what you want in a lap top.

The Pentium 4 runs too hot, battery life suffers. As you have found they do not make any current models with the P4 probably because they had so many problems with them. Check out a Dell M70.

Pentium-M is a Pentium 4 --- Just extra cache (a good thing) and speed control (Configure your system to run full blast while plugged in).
