Let me start of by assuming that the core 2 duo beats out the turion 64 x2 in almost all aspects.
Since i have never got a BAD review about an amd processor i just think its fair for me to put this question across.
Ho much would the other resources affect the performance of the notebook?
I have just surveyed the market and considering i have a low budget i narrowed down on two compaq systems.
The presario V6218TU (specs : core 2 duo T200 (1.6 Ghz), intel 945 chipset, 512 mb DDR2 ram(667mhz) , 120 gig sata drive and a intel graphics media accelerator) and there is the presario V6212AU (sepcs : turion 64 x2 TL52 (1.6 ghz), 1 Gig DDR2 ram (667 mhz, 160 gig drive and a geforce go 6150) .
Im not quite sure what the overall performance difference would be like.
Will be using it mostly for heavy image editing and some video editing.
Any views on this??
