is 1.4 ghz enough?

The SU9400 saves power … it consumes 10W of power vs. 35W in most notebook processors, with exception of the P series. On the other hand, I wouldn’t worry about it being terribly slow, but it definitely won’t be a speed demon.

OperaDad: Are you confusing the Pentium Dual-Core processor with the Core 2 Duo processor? The 2 processors are completely different.

Specs:
SU9400: 1.4 GHz, 3MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB
T6500: 2.1 GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB (found in most $650-ish laptops at the retail store)

Processor speed is misleading these days, because often it’s the processor core that determines whether a processor is more efficient and faster. 3 GHz Pentium 4 processors from 5 years ago are no where near as fast as the Core 2 Duos these days.
