>1.Are the AMD Mobile processors better than the P4 Mobile processors?

My opinion - Don't even consider comparing anything to the P4-M.  The athlon
will waste it everytime.  The Pentium-M, however, is _solid_ competition in
integer calculations (which is what chess programs use).  For chess, only
consider the Mobile Athlon or Pentium-M.

>2.How much difference is there in node speed percentage wise between the AMD
>Mobile processors and the their Desktop version ?

There shouldn't be any.  They are designed to use less power and release less
heat.  Performance -should- be the same.
