	Ah, okay: that's just what I asked Steve Bertrand, up-queue.
	I haven't bought the laptop yet; have seen a (growing) number of
	these 3GHz for sale on various used sites.  For unix, anything
	over 2.4 is pently reasonable, IMO, so I figure 3.0 ought to
	serve for years.  I'll see if the sellers will give me more
	detail.
