Just look at any HP laptop and you'll see that "desktop replacement" is not an exaggeration by any means. I don't think this is very surprising, particularly because processors ending in "ron" (Celeron, Sempron) usually suck pretty badly. You did omit some important details that might elucidate the surprise though: - The Dell has a P4 M with more cache than the Sempron. How much? - What's the bus speed of both machines? - How much RAM in each of the graphics cards? -Roberto -- We'll be safe enough once we make the jump to hyperspace. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
