... by releasing their processors at the same speed in GHz ? As a consumer I can`t understand that. It seems to me that AMD`s problem is the heat issue... so the important thing to do when buying an AMD processor is to liquid-cool it or get some sort of special (refrigerated) case to build the system, if you want to push it to the limit by overclocking ? I was also looking for a good notebook as I have 2 medical offices now, and buying another desktop was not my idea... but I began to search for an AMD notebook, and... guess what?! It`s really difficult to find one here (Brazil)... there are Toshibas everywhere, from Celeron to Pentium 4, and of course there are the new Centrinos with Wi-FI (from Acer too), but they`re extremelly expensive here... so the AMD processors rocks for chess, but their marketing sucks; I could only find a HP XP 2400+ (2.0 GHz) with DVD/CD-RW and 512 MB RAM. Only one model. No other models or options to compare... Maybe it`s time for AMD to look for an smarter CEO or at least someone to put some fire on the market, like Steve Jobs (Apple) or Lee Iacoca (Chrysler) did some years ago... A. Ponti
