Thanks again

oh, and price is not a problem because i have both in front of me, and i'm wondering which one i should sell....

they're both almost the same.. just different speeds and o/s... i like the toshiba more. hp's cant be relied on.... in my experiences. XP media center rules over home... cause media has everything xp pro has and xp pro rocks

anyone else??

Do not double post

 

[cybereclipse]

sorry, wasnt thinking....

 

[The_Other_One]

Please

I looked around some last night and typically the T2050 was faster than even than Turion 64 ML-52

i'v got an ml-32, so im guessing that the dual core would have more power even though it .2 of a ghz slower??

The Core architecture (Intel) is much more efficient than the K8 architecture (AMD) and this makes it better at the same and even to a point lower clock speeds.
