Were exactly is that suggestion?

If it were me, I'd ignore it.

WDSCi wouldn't take advantage of the one or two things a P4 does even
little bit better than an AMD 64.

I think you'd find yourself very happy with an A64 notebook.  Heck, if
you really want to fly, try one of the new dual core AMD notebooks.

I run WDSCi on a dual-core AMD at home.  Startup time is like < 10s.

Even my old 850MHz Slot-A Athlon w/768MB of RAM seemed to run WDSCi
better than my work PC (a P4 1.6Ghz w 1GB RAM)


HTH,

Charles
