I've have my eye on the new T-6330u and the old T-6836. How does the difference in chipsets effect the two laptops? The 6330u has the Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core processor T3200 with a 533MHZ serial bus and the 6836 has the Intel® Core™2 Duo mobile processor T5750 with a 667MHz serial bus. I'm more interested in the 6330u because of HDMI and draft "N" but I'm not sure if I shouldn't just wait for the t-6842. Waiting isn't really a luxury I have though. So what's the difference in chipsets? Should it make a difference?

Estoy observando y probando ahora este modelo Gateway T-6330u y me parece una maravilla, corre bien en xp, en vista un poco mas lento, migrarla a Xp un dilema pero lo he logrado. les paso el link por si alguien le sirven los drivers.

I can't speak or read spanish, and I won't be learning anytime, so...

It depends on what you need the notebook for. If it's just office this that and whatnot around the internet, the pentium dual core will do just fine. The core 2 will crush the PDC in every benchmark - so if you need the power, take the core 2.

I don't either, but from what I get from it, he gave the OP a link to switch the system from Vista to XP. Not sure what that had to do with anything, but oh well.


I agree with Frozen's recommendation. The Pentium Dual will be fine for basic to medium tasks.

I understand some of it, he says that he has been watching and he was trying the Gateway T-6330u and it looked wondeful, it run well in XP although it was a bit slow in Vista, getting it to XP was a problem but he made it. Then he put Gateway drivers for the XP :) http://seoagora.com/img/459/k08q1024glza/ecstatic.gifhttp://seoagora.com/img/308/s08e1024rvou/champagne.gif
