Re: IBM's tillamook offerings

[Richard Hamel <rhamel@pacbell.net>]

Actually it's number 2.  Intel's tillamook chipset is  200 and
233 low voltage pentium II chip.  There is an article about that and
IBM's newest 760 (14.1" screen, etc..) and other vendors on http:\\www.infoworld.com
.  (hopefully the newest 760 is a better offering than the X series). 
Wanted to find out if the 560 would be configured with this.

Ok, let me have a shot at this.

Intel is set to offer these things "real soon now":
1. The first of the Mobile Module laptops
2. Pentium Pro or Pentium II designed for laptops
3. 200MHz and faster Pentium MMX chips

Laptops designed with Mobile Modules allow user upgrades of the CPU and
other system components.  The CPU comes in a small easily insertable
(and removeable) module.  Example, Gateway Solo.

I am willing to bet that the Tillamook chip is talking about Number 3
above.  Current laptops boasting 200MHz Pentium MMX are using chips
designed for desktops, so they run fast and hot and short!!
