    Holy mother the 6800Go Ultra is rediculous and is as powerful as full blown 6800U, trumping desktop in certain instances. Pentium M is at least as powerful at A64, 2.2GHz beating 2.4GHz in certain instances. Looks like pM will be quiet a contender when dual cored. P4s really need to be canned.

    Hehe I think I will get an XPS2, but first i need to know.
    Is the pm 2.13 much better than the 2Ghz , or is it just a waste of money?

    I saw it on Dell's website, it is one sick puppy. But the pricetag............ $3459............. was it designed for Bill Gates? [ :p]

    130MHz, say that to yourself a couple of times and then ask if its worth a couple hundred dollars.
