I never said I was that computer savvy...One of the reasons that Intel is dropping HT is that to truly optimize it you must run a dual setup, which most people don't.  The processor is still one of the top 2 on the market.  I bought mine b/c it is very stable when oc'ed.  Anyways, why does it matter?  I understand that you like Dell.  Its not a big deal to me.  I didn't try and rip on you for it and test your devotion.  I build my own computers because its cheaper (not that hard) and I know the exact parts going in it.  Thats all I was saying.  Hopefully everyone else who reads this will understand that.  I was just posting my specs to see how they compared.  I didnt know alot obout Pentium M.  Thats why I posted.

And to repond to another part of the question. I have built a laptop before.  Not as hard as you would think, but it takes a bit longer.  I wasnt paying for the laptop (college grad present) so I didnt worry about it.

Thanks to everyone else that has been helpful though.
