Well, actually it will be worst if you're using AMD since most AMD notebooks 
come with desktop AMD processor instead of the mobile one. I've no idea the
recent AMD based notebooks from major notebook vendors like Compaq, Toshiba or
HP. I'm running desktop version of processor on my socket 7 notebook and it does
sometimes getting too hot. I've just bought a Celeron based Armada V300 notebook
but I have not receive it yet.. so I've no idea how good is Compaq.
