can you post the picture so i can see what you wanna sell

I'd decided to keep it.

kdships,

I know you have decided to keep your laptop after all. Just out of curiosity was it dual core or core duo?. They are not one and same same.

It's stated clearly on the ad. It's a core 2 duo.

Ok. Thanks for clarifying that.

The only reason I asked was that intels own name branding nomenclature can be somewhat confusing to the uninitiated.

I may be wrong but as far as I can tell, you can build a Dell 1420(the sucessor to the 640M) with any of the following processors :-

Intel Pentium Dual core* (Intel Pentium processor family)
Intel Core Duo (Intel Core processor family)
Intel Core 2 Duo (Intel Core processor family)

All have 2 processors (and hence are all dual cores in a generic sense), but one of them is simply reffered to as "intel pentium dual core" and the Cores do not specifically say "(dual core)" although they actually are dual cores. The Core 2 Duo has the greatest claim to fame i.e :-

up to 40% faster with improved energy efficiency, etc.

Your ad stated Core 2 Duo(Dual Core). Which is correct in itself, just wanted to be sure what exactly you had.


Thanks,

brume

@brume, "Dual core" means it has two processors and the "Core 2 duo" is simply Intel's brand name for that centrino technology processor. The "Intel Dual core" is another brand name of Intel's processor. And, you're also right about the Core 2 Duo. It's got an improved energy efficiency when compared with the lower types. Are you planning on purchasing one of the core 2s?

kdships,

A nairaland user had asked about a laptop which could run XP with no issues. I thought the 640M had been around long enough that it might run XP seemlessly - but you are keeping yours.

As for me, I'm mulling a high end HP Core 2 Duo for a speculative buy. I'm waiting to first sell at least one of the HPs and acers I shipped to Lagos recently before I do that.

enjoy,

brume
