i've heard some people say that the HP TC1100 is the compaq TC1000. But
I think that's wrong

looking at the specs, there are slight differences..

one guy I know is selling an HP machine with an Intel Centrino at
1.1GHz
another is selling a 1GHz compaq with a "Transmeta Crusoe " processor


I@ve heard that both are good but the Intel Centrino is more powerful..

I have 2 questions..

Do both come with no CD/DVD drive, and if so, do they both allow
booting from USB?

How do the temperatures compare between them?

How different is te situation of how soon into operation the cpu fan
come on and becomes audible? Like, what is the average cpu temp of each
and at what temp does the fan become audible..

suppose it's just idling, let it climb up.. what'd be the temp.. 'cos
if it takes another 10 degrees beyond that to set the fan on, then it's
pretty good in that the fan will probably almost never go on for me.

i found this sort of information on one of my laptops with the speedfan
program . Is usefuil in helping to determine things before purchase
