Hey 'blah', I don't dish out personal insults, and I don't expect to receive them. There is such a thing as equally spec'd notebooks-desktops "old fella", what do you call the ECS I-buddy? it is a notebook made up entirely of "desktop" components apart from the hard drive - it even has a standard lever-activated ZIF socket. And as a matter of fact, many notebooks especially those that use desktop CPUs use desktop chipsets ("dzing-dzing"). Furthermore, if you wish to be sooo specific, you could (unconvincingly) argue that a ShuttlePC cannot be equally spec'd to a standard desktop pc because it also uses a different/proprietary motherboard design. But we all know that that is not the case.
And what do you think a GeForce 4 Go 4200 is? It is a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 clocked down. There is NO DIFFERENCE, they are the exact same core. What do you think the Mobility Radeon 9000 is? It is a Radeon 9000 clocked down.. need I go on?!
<<<interesting how "shorter tracks" will have "thus slightly lower latency"? do you have any idea what speed electrons have? you think one or two inches will make a "couple of nanoseconds" of a difference?>>>
I was merely responding to another Poster's "miseducated" reasoning that the reason notebooks perform slower is because of shortened tracks, therefore I sarcastically (and theoretically) put forth on the table that shorter tracks could only mean lower latency even if there is no way to even measure the reduced time - try reading the entire thread before you go insulting other people with your supposedly higher intellect (and higher ego too).
I'm not even going to bother responding to the rest of your little unfounded, baseless escapades as it would simply be a waste of my time, forum space, and everyone else's intellect.

Oh, one more thing (and I don't think that I am alone here), until you have something relevant to add, "shut up".
