Is there a huge difference between...

a P4 3.0GHZ, and 3.2 GHZ? because I'm buying a new laptop, and I want to know if it is worth the extra $100 bucks?

also what is the difference between a 530 3.0GHZ, and a 630 GHZ 3.0GHZ

 

[nuke]

nope, there is not alot of difference, unless you want to do alot of heavy work.

 

[xven]

Not really. It would be hardly note worthy. Should just come of a few points more, and is not worth the extra money. You should be just fine with 3.0 Ghz.

 

[Alexqd3]

Thanks a lot guys, but what about the difference between 530 3.0GHZ, and a 630 GHZ 3.0GHZ

what do those number mean (530, 630)

It means you need a lappy with a Turion in it.

i think the 6** chips are 64bit? im not sure. i know the 8**chips are dual core.......

 

[gaara]

Yeah, the 6** chips are EMT64 chips, however the older 5** are faster clock for clock in most enviroments

The difference in 200MHz, especially on the Netburst architecture, is incredibly insignificant, and a 3GHz core can easily be overclocked beyond 3.2GHz

It means you need a lappy with a Turion in it.

Huh? The Turion is the AMD counterpart to the Pentium M, it's a low power usage processor

 

[PZEROFGH]

lol more like a lappy with a A64

 

[Trotter]

more like a lappy with a A64

Exactly. A 64-bit, low voltage mobile processor.

AMD rocks!
