Turion Neo X2 Dual-Core Processor in HP DV2z?
Posted: Tue Jul 21, 2009 11:15 am
Hi everyone,
I just ordered a new HP DV2z notebook equipped with the AMD Turion Neo X2 Dual-Core Mobile L625 Processor (1.6GHz, 1MB L2 Cache) and was wondering if anyone had heard anything good/bad/interesting about this processor. Seems like it should work pretty well for what I intend to use it for (no gaming really, just word processing, surfing, some excel/access/etc). What do you think?
Specs of computer are:
-AMD Turion Neo X2 Dual-Core Mobile L625 Processor (1.6GHz, 1MB L2 Cache)
-4GB DDR2 RAM
-320GB 5400rpm SATA HD
-512MB ATI Radeon HD Premium Graphics 3410
-Vista Home Premium w/sp1 (64-bit)
I'm thinking that sounds pretty good compared to my four year old IBM T42p (2.1ghz single-core Intel processor with +-500mb RAM, 80gb HD, etc)... I'm a little worried about the slower (1.6ghz) processor speed but I am thinking the 4gb RAM should compensate for that..?
Anyways, let me know what you think if you feel like it. Chatting about my new purchase is all I have to look forward to before it gets shipped to me in a few weeks... any comments appreciated
