| 776816 | 2009-05-26 05:54:00 | Thanks, it annoys me when people come on here asking for computer suggestions when their requirements are photo editing, video editing, 3d rendering etc and -not- games, and people say a discrete graphics card is a requirement. hhmm...ok. What CPU would you suggest I look for in a laptop $999 or less? Also would the desktop performance of a 2.16ghz celeron be better than a 1.53ghz Athlon XP? According to some super PI benchmarks I just looked at, the 2.16ghz celeron is about the same as a 1.8ghz Core 2 Duo (2mb cache), so for single threaded uses, would the 'user experience' be about the same? I think they even had a dual core celeron, however, I wouldnt settle for any cpu under 1.8Ghz, 1.66 at the most!. Dual core is always preferable, Vista and 7 use the 2nd core (scheduling) much better than XP. As for your cpu comparison, in a single threaded app, yes the E2140\60 only has 2mb cache, so not really enough to counter the faster cycled celeron! |
