huwag na makipagtalo hawak ko na e.

hehehe

para sa akin kasi important ang battery life ng laptop.

celerons are acceptable but they lack some power saving features like enhanced speedstep...

xeons are intel server chips

server pala yan.

anyways, here is how my 3 yr old cpu (in yellow) looks like compared to the new ones.

What's the benchmark being shown?

I read somewhere that intel dual core or core2dou I think... that it has lower power consumption than it's older gen cpu.

maybe so.. mas naging power efficient pa siguro dahil sa centrino..

They do because the die where they're stamped from are smaller.

I'm thinking of upgrading to a new pc that's optimized for Flight Simulator X. That game is cpu-heavy and multicore aware. So, it has to be an Intel quadcore cpu. I also want multi-monitor support. That means I'll end up buying an SLI or Crossfire-capable motherboard along with 2 PCI-E video cards but in non-SLI/Crossfire mode. 4 monitors would be fine although having more must be nice. Here's a YT video of FSX with 8 monitors and 4 video cards.
