Hi, This sounds a bit soothing for me. ;-) Now it takes about 45 minutes to compile the whole kernel. I've heard the Pentium4 deficiency problem before I bought this laptop. But the comments I found gave me an impression that P4 1.8GHz is aboutthe same performance as a P3 1.2GHz, but there is SSE2 to consider. So I bought it. So I'd be happy to keep this laptop with the similar performance with an Athlon 1.4 GHz. Maybe I should get a P3 1.2 instead? To wait for Centrino product means another 12 months maybe.
