I'm pretty much in the dark when it comes to PC processors. I do understand that Celeron based ones are pretty lame.



But what about the Intel Pentium 4 M Processor? It's speed is rated between 1.4 - 2.66 GHz.

I know there was this whole megahertz myth thing about cycles, length of pipelines etc.. plus but is this processor pretty much in line with the G4 that resides in Apple's Powerbooks?

    P4M are not great, but centrino are great. Centrino are pentium 3 design with SSE 2 and a huge 1 MB L2 cache. a 1,6 ghz centrino is faster than a 2,4 ghz P4M. Intel as destroy his own mhz myth
