    it works different than bluetooth since its faster also bluetooth could go up to 100meters while wireless g or n could go way further (if there isnt a lot of walls.

    Ok now i have the oportunity to change my processor. Which do you guys think is better:

    This mine

    Specification Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1500MHz
    Package Socket 479 mPGA (platform ID = 5h)
    CPUID 6.9.5
    Extended CPUID 6.9
    Brand ID 22
    Core Stepping B1
    Technology 0.13 um
    Core Speed 1495.0 MHz (15.0 x 99.7 MHz)
    Rated Bus speed 398.7 MHz
    Stock frequency 1500 MHz
    Instructions sets MMX, SSE, SSE2
    L1 Data cache 32 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size
    L1 Instruction cache 32 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size
    L2 cache 1024 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size
    FID/VID Control yes
    FID range 6.0x - 15.0x
    max VID 1.484V

    And this is the one i can get

    Specification Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz
    Package Socket 479 mPGA (platform ID = 5h)
    CPUID 6.D.8
    Extended CPUID 6.D
    Brand ID 22
    Core Stepping C0
    Technology 90 nm
    Core Speed 800.0 MHz (6.0 x 133.3 MHz)
    Rated Bus speed 533.3 MHz
    Stock frequency 1866 MHz
    Instructions sets MMX, SSE, SSE2
    L1 Data cache 32 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size
    L1 Instruction cache 32 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size
    L2 cache 2048 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size
    FID/VID Control yes
    FID range 6.0x - 14.0x
    max VID 1.356V
