Hi does anyone know which would run faster? I'm comparing it to a MacBook that I may buy in the future, I'm talking about the 2.0GHz White MacBook (May-2009 Model). My current desktop is with the following specs:
-CPU: Pentium 4 HT @ 3.0GHz
-RAM: 1.5GB DDR 400MHz
-GPU: nVidia GeForce 7600GT 1GB GDDR3
Motherboard: ASRock 775VM800
White Macbook:
-CPU: Core 2 Duo @ 2.0GHz
-RAM: 2GB DDR2 800MHz
-GPU: nVidia GeForce 9400M
I'm considering the MacBook cause I'll need it for school, but I want some gaming done on it. I've always wanted a Mac, and this one is actually worth the money (to me).
Right off the bat, I know the GPU should be significantly better. The RAM too. The only thing I'm troubled with is the CPU. Will a Core 2 Duo @ 2.0GHz be able to take on a P4 HT @ 3.0GHz? Cause the thing I want to do is gaming, so its not really multitasking, multiple cores does not matter. But gaming requires 3D Rendering, which dual cores are good for.
Thanks.
