Pentium M system performance

Hi,

after reading this post:
http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20050525/index.html

I was thinking about making a Pentium M system maby like this:
Aopen i915Ga-HFS
Pentium M 770 2.13 GHz
some DDR2 ram, nice PCIe gfx card and so on..

the question is: will this perform some think like the system in the test above? or is there some thing i missed..??

Thx for response.

Hey, you can go that rout, expense is the only thing that holds me back.

Pentium M is a nice chip, but at those prices, I wouldn't even consider one, since an A64 3500+ will buy you 98% of its performance for a fraction of the cost, all while providing a tangible upgrade path (dual core, faster chips,..), 64 bit compatibility, and a wide range of properly supported motherboards. Not too mention it barely consumes more power, if that was a selling point for you.

With the PM you would be stuck in a 32 bit world, have an extremely low volume motherboard (meaning likely late/poor BIOS and driver updates/support), possibly no upgrade path at all (will Yonah fit ? Would you even want one in 2006/7 since its still 32 bit only ?) and you have to pay through your nose.

Now mind you, I'm sure there are some situations where none of that matters, but I just can't think of any right now
