Ok, that explains the "E6400".  :)  I had been looking at the T7200, T7400 
and T7600.

There was one chart showing a C2D scoring lower on (memory?) FP than a AMD 
processor, no idea where that is now. I've found out Intel might have an 
improved mobile C2D in the works, basically increasing the FSB speed yet 
still not equaling their desktop cousins.

This old notebook of mine is what determines when I must get a new one while 
it slowly falls apart.
