Single core vs. Dual core

[BoEinG_747]

Single core
~1.8 Ghz
~80 GB
~512 MB DDR MEM
~built in bluetooth


DUAL core
~1.6 Ghz
~100 GB
~1024 MB DDR Mem
~w/o bluetooth (but free dongle)

same brand (Compaq),both with free bag

difference is Price .Dual core is higher * around 4K

so which do you prefer?

TIA

Depends on the application you will be running. Multi-threaded apps benefit more on duallies. But heck, at Php4K price diff, go for dual core.

dual core na...or the core 2 duo pa if suddenly budget allows.

stuff loads faster on a dual core running at a comparably lower GHz rating that a single core that has faster GHz rating.

*sir Boeing:

how much is that?

I might be able to help you :D

kung makahintay ka, darating na quad core! pero tagal pa ata

[roninblade]

go dual core

Medyo malapit na rin Kentsfield. Pero IMO, medyo overkill na yun for lappies.

*BoEinG_747: anong dual core ba yan? Core Duo (Yonah) o Core 2 Duo (Merom)?

Anyways, sa mems pa lang, panalo ka na doon sa pangalawa * Php4K price increase.

Core Duo ka nalang, +20 Gig HD, + 512MB RAM, + Extra processor so to speak ( ) for only 4K its a bargain.

i go for dual core.....

[squatt3r]

sir Boeing, what is the dual-core being mentioned here? is it Yonah or Merom?

Intel or AMD kasama sa setup ng mga laptop na yan? At anong model ng CPUs? For 4K more, you get 20G more HD space, 512MB more memory, and the power of dual-core. And gives you a couple or so years more before the upgrade itch becomes unbearable.

Sa 0.2 Ghz difference ka ba naguguluhan at sa built-in bluetooth??

Dual-core more than makes up for the 0.2 Ghz difference. Sa dalawang single core CPUs, and isa 1.6 at yong isa 1.8, di mo na mapapansin ang difference dyan, kung baga negligible na yan. Psychological lang epek nyan. Unless OC ka and will use the PC primarily for running (multiple) benchmarks...

Bluetooth? San mo naman gagamitin yan? Hehe. I mean it's not like it's Wi-Fi. Mas okay na yong dongle, at least di sya kumakain ng resources when you're not using it.

Btw, max out mo yung mems. :D

which means 2 Gig for XP Pro
