Mobile AMD Athlon vs Mobile Intel 4

[azraelyee]

I was wondering if anybody has had a bad experience from AMD mobile processors? is heat an issue? or is there a lack of performance?

Thanks for any information

No heat issues that I am aware of, the athlonXP based notebooks actually run cooler than their P4-m counterparts.

The problem with the AthlonXP notebooks is their lack of decent chipsets. The best graphics card that you can get with an AMD based notebook is the ATI Radeon IGP - Don't get me wrong, the IGP is perfect for the average user, but it is quite slow when compared to the GeForce 4 Go's and ATI Mobility Radeon 9000's that you can get with a P4-m.
