20.1 inch laptop Processors

[Anonymous]

Im looking at new laptops with 20.1 inch diplays.

The choices in processors seems to be

1. AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 Dual Core Processor

or

2. Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo processor T7500 (2.20 GHz, 4 MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
up to

3. Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Extreme Processor X7800 (2.6GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)

Anyone know how the AMD's perform?

Thanks,

how can that be? Cant you just add some ram and a new graphics card?

A pair of 2.66 Xeon's is still very, very hot stuff.

I added a memory riser to my 650. It still has only 1 1.7 Xeon. and a wimpy graphics card.

Now I use an M60. 2 gig RAM.

Freezes constantly. Even after re-format of hard drive. Don't really know why. Has an fx2000 video card, which at the time I purchased was 2nd only to the fx3000. Maybe a motherboard issue. Also runs extremely hot even with the dual fans.

got my Dell M90.

I probably should have ordered the M6300 but I could not get the bigger graphics card with it at the time.
