it's looking rosier for amd, and them providing good competition for intel finally means we're all winners.

They are releasing a mobile 64 3000+ cpu, hummmmmmmmm thought they already did that as I have a 3000+ in my laptop, the one I am typing this message on. Also the one I have does about 1.8 GHz while the model above, the 3400+ does 2 GHz. Does this mean the PR rating is low than the 3400, but better than my existing "quote, mobile 64 3000+" CPU I already have?

Maybe they should call its the 3250+

You have a standard AMD Mobile Athlon64 3000+. The aritlce refers to an Ultra-Low Voltage AMD Mobile Athlon64 3000+, a different chip. ULV Chips are often slower then the top speed regular voltage chips; thus:
ULV Mobile 3000+ performs as well as the Standard Mobile 3000+, but slower than a Standard Mobile 3200+.

BTW.. I'm on a Mobile 3200+
