I just bought a Compaq laptop with an AMD mobile XP-M 3000+ and so far it is great. It gets hot but I rarely place it on my lap. The processor will slow itself down to conserve battery. Most of the time, with Winamp running, it will sit at around 383 MHz. I haven't figured how to turn of the power saving feature yet.
Just recently I have made the switch from Intel to AMD and I haven't been happier! Just so I don't burn up the CPU's, they run very well and I have been able to splurge on other parts without spending to much on just the processor.
