Thanks guys; it doesn't mean though that I'm going to be a genious Brycer or Vue user...lol.
It's so hard to believe the difference between the overheating Pentium 4 in laptops and the cool Centrino Proc. that came out lately...it's almost like StarTrek tecnology!  :-D
Today I  ground down an old Bryce pic that was impossible to render on my old laptop; it didn't go very fast on my new Dell but the proc. stayed cool and quiet and of course it's a dream to use it for (older) games.
