More Analysis Of Pentium M Desktops

Hack Jandy writes "The Pentium 4 has gotten enough attention lately as a slow, over heated monstrosity; but does Intel's Pentium M fare any better? Intel's decision to introduce the Pentium M as a desktop processor (East Fork) may not be all it's cracked up to be. Sudhian has an in-depth article, and Anand has benchmarks (on Linux!). I will stick with my Athlon 64, thank you very much."

Intel CPU sticking to the heatsink...

[__aaclcg7560]

My indirect experience with a Intel P4 was when my roommate upgraded his computer. Since it didn't boot, he was packing the parts away to take back to the store. He came to me asking if it was normal for the CPU to be sticking to the heatsink, and I died laughing when I saw it. Turns out my roommate didn't know about the little lever thingie on the CPU socket. :)

I have a faster computer, a larger penis and better hair than you.

Oh yeah? Well I have a faster penis, larger hair, and a better computer.

But maybe I've said too much..
