I'm not sure on this one either Bob. I do know however that the new Intel
M
CPU (Braunias?) as used in the Centrino notebooks is based on the
Tualatin
CPU and is blindingly fast with SETI.
It has something to do with the fact that it has a HUGE L2 cache!

I agree, 'something' to do with the cache size. However, from what I've
read, it's the 'pipeline' length that is responsible for the speed.
