563938 2007-06-28 09:00:00 Eh? Core 2 Duo or Core Duo?

Looks good to me, does it come with any warranty?

Cheers :)

563939 2007-06-28 09:09:00 hey mate

think it comes with a 1 year warranty not sure just guessing.

In regards to core duo / core 2 duo. I guess it's core duo. Whats the difference between the two? Substantial? Core Duo is the older I take it

563940 2007-06-28 09:14:00 I'd actually recommend the Dell XPS M1210. I have a Dell laptop and I'm very happy with it. somebody (208)
563941 2007-06-28 09:18:00 In general, Core Duo is the older one compared to Core 2 Duo. Core Duo is 32-bit based, whereas Core 2 Duo is 64-bit based. This means a difference in the maximum amount of RAM a computer with either Core Duo or Core 2 Duo can handle.

For more information, kindly refer to Google. :)
