. . . I would wait for Intel's 64-bit craze to start. You're comparing apples to oranges currently. The Pentium M is a great processor, with fantastic battery life and speed but it's 32-bit. The AMD has crap battery life but is highly powerful, and 64-bit.

My R3000 (AMD 64 bit) gets well over 2 hours playing a DVD with the screen not set on it's highest brightness.

Is that carp?
