Full scale jobbies with just passive cooling, but superior quality to reduce heat. Also can be overclocked very nicely. Will fit my MSI 6382 v3 MoBo quite nicely :) I am not sure about the latest mobile AMD ones though, i am only aware of the compatability of the T-Bred's.

Laptop processors are of a better quality silicon, so putting a mobile Athlon chip into a PC is a good idea. Im still looking for one to put in mine :)

What do you mean by slower anyway.... The laptop should be fine with web browsing and using it for work and playing music, shit for games tho.... Booting, opening applications such as IE etc. Is the power management set up correctly?

	THe PC has faster RAM and faster Harddrive(s), and laptops are generally slower than their desktop counterparts.

	You'll need to overclock the L2 cache on the FSB before your EIDE ATA's will spin at the RPM needed to SMB.

	Ram is double on the PC and hard drive is 160GB more Thank you come again

	Help me out guys, I don't quite understand this! I have a PC and laptop, specs are: - PC AMD Altlon XP 2000+ 1024 RAM (DDR 400) 200GB HD (ATA 133) ATI 9600XT 256MB Graphics Card Laptop AMD Athlon XP 2600+ 512 RAM (DDR 266) 40GB HD (ATA 100) 32 NVIDEA Graphics Card (or something spelt like that :o ) Now the PC runs dead fast but the Laptop is quite slow. Both running Win XP Pro on clean HDs -- i.e. formated.
