Comparison Help
Posted: Sun Dec 13, 2009 5:35 pm
Hi,
I'm looking to get a new laptop, and I'm a little behind on my knowledge of processors. I was hoping someone could help me make an educated comparison.
I currently have a 3-year old Dell laptop with a Intel Core2 T5600 @ 1.83Ghz (running on vista, with 2gb of RAM.)
The model I'm looking at is an Asus, featuring the Intel Core2 Duo SU7300 @1.3 GHz (Windows 7, 4gb RAM).
I've read that simply comparing GHz is no longer accurate - so can I still expect better (or at least comparable) speed from the new model?
I use my computer a lot, but I don't do any video editing or gaming. Mostly just firefox/outlook/word, occasionally photoshop.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
