This is two quad-cores with hyperthreading- kinda cheating, but running up to 3.6Ghz is insane!!

It's just funny to hear you lust after massive CPU power when a 4-year-old 1.6 GHz Pentium-M is more power than you need.

That's like insisting that 250cc bikes are plenty fast enough... but lusting after a Triumph Rocket III.

What you really need is a laptop with a Skype-compatible web cam.
