July 6, 200719 yr Well, I've settled on an HP laptop, but I'm debating between two seperate models, both dual-core, but one being intel and the other amd. Here are the specs for the two.. ------------------------------------------------------------- AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual Core TL-58 1.9GHz RAM: 2048MB DDR2 Hard Drive: 280GB 5400 RPM SATA Optical Drives: 8X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer With LightScribe Graphics: 559MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA) Preloaded Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium Laptop @ Best Buy ------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66GHz RAM: 2048MB DDR2 (2 Dimm) Hard Drive: 240GB SATA (5400RPM) Hard Drive Dual HDD Optical Drives: LightScribe Super Multi 8X DVDÃÆââ¬Å¡ÃâñR/RW DL Graphics: NVIDIA 256MB GeForce Go 7600 Preloaded Operating System Windows Vista Ultimate Laptop @ Best Buy ------------------------------------------------------------- So, theres the two options. I'm quite confused about the processors on both of these models, I'm not sure which one is faster or would be better with multi-tasking or whatever. I used to know about all this kind of stuff, but these new processor types are very confusing... :wall:
July 6, 200719 yr Defently go with the Intel core 2 duo. It's faster than the AMD counter part. The Intel model also has a better graphics card so you can play games. It also has Vista Ultimate and the AMD laptop has Premium (not a big difference).
July 6, 200719 yr Author Ah, ok, I was looking at the clock speed on both the AMD and the Intel, i knew there had to be some trick to it
July 24, 200718 yr I would go with the intel one, because it has is a better graphics card, and the intel dual core processors usually perform better.
July 25, 200718 yr Yeah, if you can buy either one, definately go for the intel one. Like someone else said, the graphics card is much better and so is the processor. Not to mention it comes with Vista Ultimate instead of Home Premium. Ultimate is the one with all the bells and whistles. Notoriously Trollish.
