Well I feel I should start with the typical "hi im new here" line, even though Im not! But its been a good while since I've posted!
Anyway Im looking for a new laptop but dont know what to go for! Was going to post in the processor section seeing as how its basically a Turion x2 vs Core Duo Q! But other things come in too!!
I am very cost aware! (poor student ) Basically which system would be better....
--Turion X2 1.66 / ATI Xpress 1300 512MB
--Core Duo 1.66 / Intel GMA 950 224MB
Both laptops are Acer, come with 1GB RAM, 100GB HDD's, WiFi, etc... pretty much everything same!
Note it is Core Duo and not Core 2 Duo! Cant afford that
I read somewhere that Vista will run poor on the duo it not being 'true' 64 bit processing?
I intend to use the laptop for dvd watching/ light gaming (into old fps's)/ msn/ browsing etc
Thanks In advance! Lets see if any old members that I remember post!
