Hmmm. I've generally found the mm more responsive for normal web surfing and 
office type stuff, with a little digital camera work ocassionally- I don't do 
any gaming. Didn't know there was a .17mm-mdk- do you mean .18? AFAIK, the 
.18 just added some driver support to the .16, so I never bothered with it. I 
also got into doing the ck patches on the vanilla 2.4.21.

 IIRC, you run an MSI board similar to one of mine- so I guess the perceived 
performance increase probably depends on what applications are involved, and 
how they are affected by the preemption/low-latency factor.
