Maybe heat issue?

Some operating systems speedstep the processor even further. For instance 3Ghz processors can be speedstepped in XP for instance to 800Mhz.
You nailed it - battery life, and heat.Quote:

Yeah, heat & battery life are two nemesis of a laptop in my book...
Well I was thinking of the hardcore gamers,that like to take games on the road kids primarily.Quote:

And for gaming, the GPU has an astronomically higher impact on gaming performance than CPU speeds. If I were looking for a laptop that could game, I would pay attention to the GPU - the CPU is largely irrelevant at that point.
Perhaps you misunderstood my mention of road and kids.What I actually had in mind was,parents on a long road trip,kids on the back seat yelling.Quote:
