ScienceMark 2.0, Pifast

Our performance comparison begins with memory bandwidth and latency analysis





As you can see, dual-channel memory support doesn't do a whole lot for the Pentium M architecture when considered against the single-channel setup used by the Alienware laptop.



The result of which is a Pifast time that is only marginally slower than the other two machines using the same Pentium M 770 processor, and all three comfortably beat a hot, noisy Pentium 4 570 CPU/cooler combination.
