buy when u need, that's wat i think when comes to hardware....

new things come out every mth... how long u want to wait???

juz read the dsktop ones will do...

out long ago lor...

thread closed...

look out for new thread... not juz for Intel, but AMD as well...

thread transformed...

discussions are welcomed...

any good programs for that???

for a start, 3D Mark 06 can be considered one...

well, i was playing with Everest juz now, and the benchmark in it is probably a good gague...

only problem is that there are so many of them...

better go for Core i3 now...

newer technology with clock speed that's close to the C2D T6000 series...

actually, the architecture of Core and Nehalem stays pretty much the same... main difference between Core 2 and Core i is the integration of memory controller, the integration of graphic accelerator (for dual cores), and the replacement of FSB with DMI instead...

the main advantage of Nehalem is the jump in memory bandwidth and lowered memory latency, coupled with some tweaking in power consumption... other than that, the 2 are pretty much the same, battery life included (for the same TDP)...

u mean my netbook???

pretty snappy response, honestly speaking... juz dun open too many programs and u re fine...

so yeah, knows it's limit and u re fine...

however, i am currently folding with it as well...

juz installed FAHSpy again... waitiing for it to refresh...

well, it's a way to fully utilize the CPU resources, and volunteer without disrupting ur own daily schedule...

moreover it can help other ppl... so why not?

updated with AMD's Geneva Ultrathin CPU...

corrected...

Added on May 15, 2010, 8:45 amoh, and i ve to add on, AMD's Ultrathin is looking more and more interesting...

yup... pure performance wise, SU7300 should ve a little edge, and it wins in battery life as well...

however, since u mentioned Flash, with the upcoming Flash 10.1, my opinion is that AMD platform is a better choice, since HD4225 will be able to provide hardware acceleration for Flash 10.1...

Flash 10.1 supports hardware acceleration by GPU with Unified Stream architecture, which basically mean any GPU (integrated included) of GeForce 8 or later and Radeon HD2000 or later will support that...

wat abt it???

Well, for sure it's better than N450, since it's dual core. However, do take note that 330 is designed for nettop instead, thus having a much higher power consumption.

it really depends on ur work...

Core i7 720QM shines in apps like photoshop...

however it gets pwned kao kao by Core i7 620M in 3D Mark...
