Quote:Is that a 2.8 Pentium 4 or is it that it has to be core 2 duo on top of that minimum speed? Core Duo makes up for lower processor speeds.
In fact, a 2.4Ghz Core2 Duo is at least twice as fast as a 2.4Ghz Pentium 4. And that's just using one of the cores, not both.

... I thought it was well known that with the Core2 Intel went on the road other companies were on earlier with getting more performance out of lower clock speeds instead of just pumping up the megahertz again and again...
