  Well, maybe there is less cache on the laptop.  They probably chop it a
bit to save money or something.
Also, I think the cpu's for laptops are cut down a bit for various reasons -
power management, heat dissipation, space? and so on.
Intel often talk about cutdown cpus for laptops, and so I guess they must be
chopping something out for some reason.

Anyone know anything about the next POV release?
