Laptop Pentium M Speeds?

I'm folding again for the first time in nearly 7 months. Never got around to installing the client when I switched from my old desktop to my shiny new laptop. I'm curious: who else is folding on a laptop/notebook? I'd be interested to see how the Pentium M 1.8 compares clock-for-clock with the P4, AXP, and Opteron. I didn't pick my laptop based on folding performance, but I'd still like to know how competitive the processor is.

Also, how do those of you who fold on a laptop monitor your machine? I could get Electron Microscope for the client, but I'm more interested in the kind of information motherboard monitor gave me on my old desktop - CPU speed/temperature, that kind of thing.

Here are some tinker core comparisons:

1.8Ghz Pentium M: ~8 minutes
2100+ Athlon XP: ~6 Minutes
Opteron 240: ~6.5 Minutes
Ahtlon XP 2500+ Barton ~2.2Ghz: 4.5 Minutes


All cores seem to run slightly different time so direct comparison is hard, but the Pentium M seems to be running about 2/3 as fast as an AMD Athlon XP at the same Frequency.....

Note: These are just my limited observations and not scientifically significant.
 
I know when the "M" first came out we had one member useing it, I 1.2 I believe. As I recalll it was very good with folding, as fast as the AMD 1.4 gig systems at the time.

Luck
 
I'm in agreement with BillR - at least my foggy memory is. I seem to recall that the Pentium M was stronger in the Gromacs than the Tinker, but that could be faulty memory.

Searching didn't yield much either, I'm afraid.
