    Computer Question

    I'm looking at some laptops and i'm a bit confused about the cpu specifications. On one of the advertisments i'm looking at it says "DUAL CORE DUO 2x1.66Ghz". My question is what is that the actual cpu speed? or is it 3.3ghz?

    Get the 2 gigahertz one if your only concerned with multitasking and media. If your into games, go AMD.

    thanks for your input but it still didnt really answer my question. Anyway there is another one 1.7 and the person selling it says its equivalent to 3.4 pentium p4 desktop. Is this true or not?

    Conroe's are starting to pwn AMD right now, and I'm an AMD guy. And, you might have won the battle Jodi, but you haven't won the war.

    Check the white papers. If it's a dual core proc, then yes.

    I came across something about the Conroe having problems with RAID, and RAID 1 is fairly common.
    So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
    of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
    about another group that actually does something
    to improve their lives.

    If you're not worried about redundancy, then RAID 0 pwnz RAID one in terms of performance. Such as my RAID 0 array of western digital SATA raptors.

    I won't defend the Conroe however.

    I'm worried about the redundancy of your posts
    Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
    not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
    and drag down the features of age,
    no folds or creases from unkempt wear
    eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
    no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
    but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

    There are x2 1.66ghz cores. The speed is only 1.66ghz, but since there are two cores it can theoretically do multiple tasks at once giving the illusion of higher speed, but in reality its actually just doing double the work at the same speed.

    The only problem with most PC's and laptops, is the problem of Bill Gates.

    You have more problems than partitioning the HD, which you have to be able to boot to the cd to do. And if you don't have it... then uh...
