	I'm getting 1 hour and 14 minutes now after taking out WITNESS.
But what speed is your RAM since I think that has an effect as well.  I'm
still running DDR266 RAM on a 845 chipset for the Pentium-4M 2.6Ghz.  I'm
not sure but what's the FSB on the Pentium-M since mines is still at
400FSB and not the 533 or 800 of the newer mobile CPUs.
