    I'd go even lower power than that. You don't need much computing horsepower for those functions.

    If you're locked into one of those two CPUs, I'd go with the Pentium M, solely for the lower power draw.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?



    Under normal circumstances, a signature would go here.

    What you metion is overkill, but Pentium M is not a bad choice if you need it.
