<p>“dual core Turion, ships in May”</p>

<p>Yea but it won’t be cheap.</p>

<p>Also, does anyone know sites that actually show what a core duo or pentium m really is(in terms of a Pentium 4, etc.) Like a Core Duo 2.0 GHz is what on a Pentium 4? I’ve found reviews and stuff, but not an actual conversion chart.</p>

22

<p>u cant just convert to actual benchmarks cuz u have to consider different mainboards</p>

<p>i think for the same price notebook, dual core will beat out any single core</p>

23

<p>oh pah, if you’ve got two AOpen or MSI or whatever boards, they’ll be pretty much close enough to compare.</p>

<p>Even with different boards, if theres a large margin, its not like the board will impede it too much, only on overclock.</p>

<p>yay for 2000! </p>

<p>btw, i was GOING to wait for the AMD Turion 64 X2 (dual core) in may, but as the saying goes:</p>

<p>Desktop = AMD
Laptop = Intel</p>

<p>and a reply i got from another forum: </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>so just go w/ core duo. (or wait until september for Merom?)</p>

<p>Well intel just announced that it’d be out earlier than that maybe! June or July for Merom, maybe I’ll wait…</p>
