I was just booting up my system and it says Mobile Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz... Is that different then a Pentium M processor..Im thinking if it would say "Pentium M....etc" if it was a Pentium M model .because I know they made pentium 4 's for laptops that were the same as desktop p4's.. So i was just thinking that if its the p4 desktop type ..then its even better for me... Chris Weisiger wrote: > > Yeah, windows, but I do run a myth system.
