RE: Laptop suggestion ? (Colin Williams)

I don't think I'd call that a processor recommendation exactly.

The website says "Cloudscape has been tested on the following
platforms."

Windows 2000    <various JDKs>  Intel-based PC.


So the test platform was "Intel-based" PC, not sure if you can take that
to mean that IBM recommends an Intel Pentium 4 CPU over an AMD Athlon 64
CPU.

"Intel-based" doesn't tell you much.  Is that a x86-32, x86-64, Itanium,
or Itanium 2 Intel CPU?

I usually see "Intel-based" to mean an x86 processor, which would cover
x86-32 and x86-64 from Intel or AMD.

But, out of curiosity, I posted a message to the cloudscape forum to see
if IBM really recommends and Intel processor for cloudscape.

As far as Intel dual core notebooks, the are working on them AFAIK.  But
I don't believe that Intel is close to shipping them yet.  Probably
having trouble keeping them from catching fire. <grin>
