I thought that Centrino Technology was the most reliable and uses it's power most effectively, proabably becasue of this "energy consumption value", they don't want it to overclock and consume up all the energy. I suppose that it's a good thing for those who travell frequently or perhaps, don't chrage thier computers very often.

mobile athlon64s are really good too actually, just that they aren't advertised that much. I've seen one downclock all the way to 133Mhz!

Like I said somewhere above, Centrino in a laptop is a hardware technology:

Intel Mobile CPU + Intel Motherboard + Intel WiFi = Centrino

centrino's good for regular users ... like using spreadsheets and going on the internet, etc. but for any sort of processing, it just sucks bad. it's super frustrating if your trying to maintain any sort of constant performace, although it is a laptop, and not a server, it's still crazy.

but i think it's a decent standard, and it'll help maintain the life of the computer ... if that even makes a difference anymore.
