I read stuff like;

That just doesnt sit right with me. Is the bus speed making the difference? . . .or is it just that the Centrino is optimized for certain app's ? (giving an equiv speed only for those app's)

. . .or ?
Island: you scare me. I was going to ask this same question. I've been looking at P4 systems lately, but few are available now since M Processors have moved into the mainstream. I don't know if there'll be a market for the P4 except on the secondary market.
