Centrino Gaming Laptop

[MurphmanL]

Am trying to work out how good Centrino laptops are for gaming.
Ive spotted a laptop I like with a Centrino 2ghz processor, 1gb of ram and a geforce 6800 256mb as a portable gaming rig.

Im just wondering, atm i have a 3.2ghz p4 ht laptop, how does a 2ghz centrino stack up against this?

centrino isn't a processor, it's a branding classification for machines which
a) have an intel pentium-m, core solo, core duo, or core 2 duo cpu
b) have an intel i945, i915 or i855 chipset
c) have intel 3945, 2915, 2200 or 2100 wireless
d) run windows xp or linux 2.6.8+

if you mean pentium-m, then it'd be about 25% faster than the pentium 4.
