Are you sure you are not confusing Centrino with Celeron?

I seem to recall reading stories that the fastest Centrino (1.6?) is 
equivalent to a 2.4 P-IV.  The reason being that the Centrino has a short 
pipeline, like the P-III.  Those benchmarks probably were comparing the 
Mobile P-IV which perhaps is slower than the desktop version.  Of course 
it is also easy to get confused with Mobile benchmarks, so perhaps I am, 
since sometimes they are taking into account battery life as well, which 
the Centrino excels at.

Mark,

According the benchmarks I found... a Centrino 1.3 Ghz... compares more or 
less to a PIV 1.3 Ghz, not to a 2+ one.  Anyway, I guess the point is 
clear that WDSCi cares about memory, and not the CPU speed.

I run WDSC on various machines, one being a Thinkpad A21 (which is a 
PIII-800 with 384MB) which is still quite reasonable depending on what you 
do with WDSCi.

Kind regards,
Paul
