Post Number: 1020 Registered: Jun-07 | celeron processor used to be known as a celery processor because they are slow, don't know if thats still true though, and hell a dual core ...if I am correct is basically like having 2 processors working together...isnt it? |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 12777 Registered: Jun-06 | Well out of the box there are at least 60+ processes running in the background on my machine. My PC is out of resources before I even run a program. It's all that preloaded crap and trial software. My IE drags like a dog so I don't use it anymore. Not to mention none of my peripherals worked anymore. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 7667 Registered: Jun-04 | im gonna install linux on the hard drive spliting into two partitions |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 7668 Registered: Jun-04 | "do you have to get Vista? whats wrong with using XP?" I only own windows 98 so I need a new windows |

|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 7669 Registered: Jun-04 | I milk it for all its worth LOL ....plus I didnt like xp's bloat it ran slower than 98 |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 7670 Registered: Jun-04 | I condsidered going totally linux but for only 75 more I figured why not buy one ready to go with vista to boot |
|
Bronze Member Username: TycoonbobPost Number: 69 Registered: May-07 | dual core def over celeron. but IMO, i would go with an athlon fx series. I am an AMD fantic. My laptop is a athlon x2 with 160gb HDD and 4g RAM. and my desktop has a fx 57 (939) socket with 4g of ram also. triple boot with vista ult, xp home, and linix unix. love it. |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindRD 1000.1D with SI MAG... Post Number: 17414 Registered: Oct-05 | i agree with derek. amd>intel |
|
Bronze Member Username: TycoonbobPost Number: 71 Registered: May-07 | wow, i figured i would get based for saying amd>intel. your awesome chad! AWESOME |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindRD 1000.1D with SI MAG... Post Number: 17416 Registered: Oct-05 | if i had a choice of getting the amd processor, i would of but my laptop came with intel so i really had no choice. when i used to build pc's back in the days, i would only use amd athlons. |
|
Bronze Member Username: TycoonbobPost Number: 72 Registered: May-07 | i wouldnt buy a laptop til i found an amd one. i just got it back in nov. came with 1g of ram, and just put the 4g in last week. its awesome |

Bronze Member Username: Igor_xxxPost Number: 74 Registered: Sep-07 | Just get the dual core and you will be ok, and Sean dont buy that GPU that you listed above. |
|
Gold Member Username: Tatonka-[Team Audib... Post Number: 1394 Registered: Mar-07 | Buy the Dual core. It will run multiple apps smoother and can be over clocked quite a bit with the right mobo and cooling. And vista is actually very nice. It is a working progress. |
|
Gold Member Username: Tatonka-[Team Audib... Post Number: 1395 Registered: Mar-07 | "would the 2.93 be faster or not considering its 930 mghz faster" Wrong. 2.0 Dual core means it runs at 4.0ghz total. Each gore is 2.0. So it will be much faster. |
|
Silver Member Username: B3n07Louisville, Ky USA Post Number: 692 Registered: Jul-07 | if you building this system put XP on it instead of vista its crap |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 7679 Registered: Jun-04 | I was messing with my grandmas new laptop and thought id dislike vista but I actually liked it |
|
Silver Member Username: Stateprop486PA Post Number: 160 Registered: Jan-08 | i like on vista how you can make the taskbar and stuff black. |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 7680 Registered: Jun-04 | "Wrong. 2.0 Dual core means it runs at 4.0ghz total. Each gore is 2.0. So it will be much faster." but the reason I asked is I heard the the second cpu only actually adds a 30% performance increase because windows doesnt use it to full efffectiveness |
