Mobile Processors & Signal Reception

Hi,
I have a couple of questions.

I'm wondering what the difference is between an AMD Mobile Athlon processor and a normal AMD Athlon processor in a lap top. What exactly is being affected between the two, and does it make tons of difference which one u have?

Also, what affects signal strength in a lap top?-----> Is a b/g better than just g? What should I be looking for when it comes to wanting to connect to the internet at farther distances?

Thanks again!
 
Mobileprocessors generally use less electricity/generate less heat to allow for longer battery life. Normal Desktop Athlons in Laptops are not mnat to be very portable, they are built as mobile desktops basically.

As for wireless, B/G is the protocol for data transmission, with 802.11B Capable of doing 11Mbps, and 802.11G capable of 54Mbps. So G is faster. There are even faster protocols now, but B/G are the common ones still. They should have no bearing on signal strength though, the only way to boost that is to get better/powered antennas for your router or access point(s), and the type of card/antenna that is in your computer will also affect its range.
