  1. it seems that the higest speed with these is 2.0GHZ.

    but since they are designed for efficiency, does it affect speed/performance??

    anybody using any of these for trading, is so what speed?
     

  2. am i better off going with the Pentium 4, something like this for trading..

  3. its a choice. power or battery life. i have a pentium m 1.5. the battery lasts over 4 hours. it has plenty of power for most trading i would guess.
     
  4. yeah, and pentium M is much lighter too.

    A 2.0mhz pentium m is the equivalent of a 3.0ghz pentium 4. You can run it in a desktop with a fanless cpu cooler and fanless psu if you want silence. see www.silentpcreview.com
     
  6. I am using IBM 1.7. TWS+ATS. pretty good. works well
     

  7. excellent, thankx guys
     
  8. Pentium M is far faster than a equivallent clocked Pentium 4, so it is not a matter of battery life versus performance, the Pentium M is just plain better across the board.
