BTW, there's a bit of a gotcha w/ the CoreDuo processors. I really didn't mean it like that. I'm sure you will do a comparison when it's available so I know it's no use in me pestering you about it. They are NOT pin-compatible with Pentium M or regular P4-478 sockets I knew that the i915 was not fo...

That is why I surmised that the 770 which is actually a 2.13GHz chip, will probably compete well with the ML-44. Their performance is not equal clock for c...

A great article overall. My only concern is that the power comparisons and price comparisons didn't take into account equivalent performance. A recent review by Tech Report showed that the top of line ML-44 is faster than the 760 although the 760 does win some benchmarks. This is pretty good conside...
