IBM-Lenovo Thinkpad T43 Review 12
Mojo-Dog writes "Known as arguably one of the best selling Notebooks in the Corporate sector,
IBM's T series of Thinkpad Notebooks has historically earned high marks for its
build quality, feature set and general well-rounded performance. HotHardware.com has a review up that takes
a close look at the new IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T43 Notebook. Can IBM pass the
Thinkpad's illustrious torch onto Lenovo and make the transition with this new
machine? With a 1.73GHz Dothan core Pentium M, an i915PM chipset, DDR2 DRAM and
ATi X300 graphics under it's hood, the T43 is looking like a seriously solid
offering."

No, you're also missing comprehension of the post you are responding to. You are comparing AMD desktop CPUs to Intel desktop CPUs, while you are almost certainly responding to an article about a laptop.
A lot of Slashdot-type people prefer AMD chips to Intel. Intel has market saturation and is the brand most known to the masses, but AMD admittedly has extremely nice desktop chips. However, Intel did something spectacular with

First I had a T30. which sucked for a variety of reasons [wirewd.com].
Then there's now a T41 to replace it. Which has a whole new set of problems, like how the VGA port has a noise problem, the DVI port will only do 1280x1024 (apparently mostly because they didn't enable anything higher in the drivers), the docking station's USB ports simply don't work, and stuff.
I'm not sure if it's just that the alternatives suck even more or that I just keep getting lemon ma
