hi guys...im planning to buy either i5 or i7 of asus a43 2moro...difference of rm300 tho
im slightly towards the i7, coz i thk i might be doing simulation stuff in the future
im just wondering, for normal use like listening to the music/watching movies/surf net etc, the i7 will also be hotter than the i5 right?
the i7 is 2.0 to 2.9 while the i5 is 2.3 to 2.9, does that mean when at idle, the i7 will probably be at 2.0 while the i5 is at 2.3? so the i7 wont be generating too much heat?

rm400?? i went to lowyat today, took the catalogue and it says rm2999 for i7 and 2699 for i5...the graphic card for both are GT540M with 2GB ddr3  hmm...so if both i5 and i7 are running the same task, the i7 will still be slightly hotter right? not that i really mind the heat, just curious  im still sceptical bout the i5, since im actually doing quite a lot of multitasking with my computer...i did some search and knew that for gaming the processor wouldnt make much of a difference
