Pentium Mobile Chip

info from PC Magazine, April 8, 2003

Pentium-M chip, not to be confused with Pentium 4-M chip is the best one for laptops.
Greater battery life, and clock speeds are deceptive. Can do more with slower clocks.

855PM chipset

• memory expandable to 2 GB of 266 MHz DDR SDRAM


• external 4x AGP graphics slot (does this truly mean external, or just off the motherboard?

Comparison: 1.4 GHz Pentium-M chip "easily beats" 2.4 GHz Pentium 4-M

p.s. "centrino" (?) technology is a combination of CPU and wireless, etc. Didn't get great reviews, and apparently doesn't currently work with all wireless systems. For now, avoid the centrino, and just get Pentium M
