Hello guys

Would you be able recommend me any of these processors ? I´m still amateur in this and I don´t know which is of these in the list is top.
Here is the full list of processors page 93
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01689926.pdf
By bigger numbers I decide that this is top 3 but Im not sure
Is it -
Intel Core™2 Quad Q9100 2.26-GHz with 12-MB L2 cache and 1066-MHz FSB or

Intel Core2 Duo T9800 2.93-GHz with 6-MB L2 cache and 1066-MHz FSB or

Intel Pentium Dual Core T4200 2.00-GHz with 1-MB L2 cache and 800-MHz

Thanks for your help guys
Wishing a nice day
Rasty

Multi-threaded applications can take advantage of several cores to improve performance, e.g., 7-ZIP, HandBrake, etc. Here's a nice list: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/hyper-threading-core-i7-980x,review-31842-3.html

A Single-threaded application uses a single core even if there are idle cores, e.g, some browsers and most older applications.

If you plan on mainly running multi-threaded applications, then get the Q9100; otherwise the T9800 is a good choice.

Most older games and applications are single-threaded and they will run better on the T9800 (faster cores than the Q9100), but if you run well threaded application or several applications at a time, then buy the Q9100.

You know better than anyone else what you'll use that old laptop for.

Personally I'd buy the Q9100 because I don't use few single-threaded applications where the faster clock of the T9800 would really make a difference to me. Being able to run several applications concurrently is more important and the 4 cores of the Q9100 would help. I presume that you can determine which one is best for your requirements.
