Buying Laptop - need help w/ choice?. Hi guys, I am looking to buy a laptop. I was looking to get a 64bit, dual core proc. Now I am not sure which is better, AMD or Intel for laptop chips. Can anyone with info post something aobut it!! also which...

by AMD. Go Duo and you won't regret. Intel leads at this segment. I'd have advised on going AMD if you wanted a desktop but here, in the mobile world Intel leads with a much better performance efficient chip that is now dual core! Thanks for all your opinions...

one laptop/one pc are new, the other have been replaced due to necessity but were otherwise great pcs in their own right. A KVM switch is probably what you are looking for, e.g.: There are other ways like accessing the desktop from the laptop via RDP/VNC...

applications. In which case a faster single core would do you better. Only if you are running long running tasks in the background and do not wish to have any slowdown on your foreground apps do you need a dual core (be it intel or amd) Actually the 65nm...

2) They only use Intel chips, but is a dual Core Intel 3.0Ghz the same (except the 64bit architecture) as my 3.0Ghz P4 now? 3) Is it possible to squeeze more horsepower out of the stock motherboard with any BIOS options? I know they use Intel boards too,...

are not the same. Look at the kentfield design. While your statement holds true for upcoming intel dual cores, it will not be true for the quad cores which are two individual dual core dies, that are connected over the front side bus - how is that sharing...

room will get hot. Perhaps intel used the prescott as a 0.90nm experiment? The intel roadmaps have been re-written so many times latly... anyone got any details on the Intel Conroe? (Rumors say: A laptop chip said to be at 0.65nm for desktops - dual core, 4mb...

be great Thanks! The dual core isn't going to do that much for gaming right now, as the software needs to be written to exploit dual core performance. A single core processor at a higher speed would be "better" for gaming (if I understand you correctly)....

Intel Pentium Dual Core E5400 VS. AMD Athlon II X2 250 BE. Lads, i must choose between:- 1 - Pentium Dual-Core E5400, 2.7 GHz, 2 MB, 800 MT/s, 13.5x. 2 - Athlon II X2 250, 3.0 GHz, 2 MB, 2000 MT/s, 15x. The AMD is slightly better when theyr'e both stock,...

background, which would normally slow down a single-core CPU) to the second core. Advantage: Dual Core. AMD sees the future - their X2 architecture is where their development (and marketing) muscle is headed, and likely will be for years; single core is dead....
