Core Duo 1.66 vs. Pentium M 2.13 Weiner?

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Dumb question, but coming up short on benchmarks. According to the AT article, a 2.0 Yonah would be a bit faster in games than a 2.0 Pentium M.

I currently have an Inspiron 9300 with a 1.6 (400fsb) Pentium M that's been pin-modded to a 2.13

Was curious how this would compare to an Inspiron E1705 with a Core Duo at 1.66

Seems like it would be a significant downgrade. Otherside of that would be going from a 6800 go to a 7800 go

Or spend $200 more to get a Core Duo 2.0

Was just wondering if those Yonah scores were the actual figures that everyone is seeing.

yeah i am in the same boat, I'm OK with the 6800 graphics in the 9300, esp. with a bit of help from rivatuner, but my dothan 760 does drag a bit when i'm not gaming. I'm considering either a 400->533Mhz FSB pinmod overclock or shelling out the $$ for a lappy with the Duo. I was hoping for a 400mhz 745 to get to 2.4, but I'm a bit nervous about reaching that at stock volts. How has yours treated you?

You can always pin-mod the Core Duo to 2.13 ghz.

All I can see there is that maybe it's possible that the reserved BSEL setting may work, nobody there tried it. Core duo already runs on 166mhz FSB, thats the highest available one, the rest of the available BSEL settins are 133 and reserved...
