    Hello there! (I searched this and nothing came up)

    I was wondering for the v2000z, which would be the better processor? The ML-34 or the ML-37? Also whats the average battery life time on your v2000z's right now?

    ML-37, IMO. 2.5h with 6 cell battery, over 5.5h with 12 cell battery

    ML-37 is the faster processor. Given its the exact same processor running at 2.0ghz vs. 1.8ghz. My battery life is right at six hours underclocked.

    Go for ML-37. It will save even more power than 34.

    Thank you for all the help so far. I got into an arguement with one of my buddies over which processors are better and now im wondering which is better now? The AMD Turions or the Intel Centrinos?

    If you want the option of being able to run 64-bit Windows Vista when it comes out (or 64-bit Linux now), get the Turion. If you're a big fan of Intel commercials, spend the extra money for a Centrino.
