and for 2 million digits, i hit a 1m 41s with 1.73 GHz Pentium M w/533 MHz fsb, 512 (2x256) mb ddr2, 100gb seagate 5,400. the only thing i can think of that might attribute that speed is the hard drive since that was put in after i got the computer? i saw other reviews that have the

IBM ThinkPad T43 (1.86 GHz Pentium M) 1m 45s
Sony VAIO S380 (1.86 GHz Pentium M) 1m 45s
Dell Inspiron 9300 (1.86GHz Alviso Pentium M) 1m 50s
Dell Inspiron 6000D (1.6 GHz Pentium M) 1m 52s
Sony VAIO FS680 (1.86 GHz Pentium M) 1m 53s

anyways, i was wondering how significant each second was?

Hard drive makes no difference for Pi.

I don't think a second is significant at all. It's just a useful metric to compare with other notebooks.
