Barton Clock Speed: 2.17GHz
Pentium-M CLK Spd : 1.70Ghz

Barton    Cache: 128Kb + 512 Kb
Pentium-M Cache: 64Kb + 2048 Kb (!!)

Barton FSB   : 333
Pentium-M FSB: 400

Your notebook may have faster RAM and HDD with bigger cache (8Mb?)

Last time I did benchmarks, Athlon XP 1.8GHz (512K L2) FPU
performance was about 1.4 times better than that of my
Pentium IV Northwood (512K Cache) 2.4 GHz.
