The Core i5 is a dual-core and has 4 threads(Intel says will act as 4 cores if needed) it has 32nm process so it would be coller than the 45nm processors.. But for your tasks.. maybe the Core i7 Quad would be a better choice disregarding its low clock..

Well, if you wanna go for multi task, 3d polygon siftware and other design software.. i7 would be a better choice, but the heat is quite high so you may need a laptop cooler for it. Some of us in lowyat forum using i7 XPS without complain or issue....

i5 runs cooler at idle, but just slightly hotter at full loading (85% - 100%) at about 65'c to 68'c Maximum..... Well, in term of more stable , not overheat ,smooth, render smooth, i guess Core i5 can suits your needs :-)

i'm so scare about HT, softwares and games will develop support HT in future? if not then the HT totally no use?

let's say about i7, if no HT softwares or games... will it only run at 1.6GHz?

mostly only professional software that utilized HT
about the clock on i7, its depends on the turbo boost, not HT.

Like lee said, it depends on the cores itself (turbo boost)...HT got nothing to do with it

thks... i c...because i7 too costly i will prefer i5-540m which customize at dell online, should i add the batt 9cell(origin 6 cell),
is it can use cooler to prevent the overheat issue, and i need to buy laptop bag.. will it be hceap at outside,,cause online here buy at least rm100++

of cos i5 more cheaper.. cos jus hav reeal duo core.. + another dual HT core.

what is dual HT core??
then abt the laptop bag?(dell online rm100++ whats othe rmarket price?)
and batt need to add to 9 cell(ori 6 cell)

u travel a lot ? if your laptop just a desktop replacement stick to 6cell.
9cell give u an hour extra in power saving mode, iinm!

thks lee.. can u tell me what is dual HT core?

Arrandale processors(Core i5 and Core i7 Latest) are Dual-Cores(2 Cores), 4 threads(Hyper Threading Technology) ..

The 4 threads will act as quad-cores using Hyper Threading Technology.

Theres no "Dual HT Core" term if im not mistaken.
