Pentium D? 2 kernel technology?

You mean "dual core".\nIt puts to processing cores on the die which makes it faster, not quite double speed, but faster.\n\nA kernel is something different.

You got it wrong. LGA775 is not a processor, it's a socket type. This is the latest socket type so far for Pentium 4 and Pentium D CPUs (as well as for Celerons) and it's the successor of the 478 socket.\n\nThe latest socket LGA775 CPUs are: the Pentium 4 (6x1 series), the Pentium D (8xx series) and the Pentium D (9xx series) with clock rates in the range of 2.67GHz to 3.8GHz.\n\nThese 3 series of CPUs are currently state of the art for desktop PCs. For notebooks they doesn't fit and therefore Intel has 2 series especially for them, the Pentium M (7x0 series) and the Core Duo (T2x00 series) with clock rates in the range of 1.66GHz to 2.26GHz.\n\nSocket 478 desktop CPUs\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2010340343+1051707443+1050706985&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=343\nSocket 775 desktop CPUs (Core names: Prescott = 90nm, single core.

honestly, junk it \n\nmuch cheaper than searching 4 old processors not knowing if they work at all\nget a new p4 nope, get a pentium dual core ... just say yes ... lottsa ideas then

You're buying a loptop, so power use will be important to you. Batteries life is terrible with high power components, including the CPU. \n\n=======\npower\n\nAnd that's the first distinction. The Pentium M was designed for minimum power consumption in a Pentium compatible CPU. So your batteries will last longer. \n\nThe Duo Core CPUs are really two CPU cores in one chip. IF the operating system, and application design (which you can't affect) support them properly, such a CPU can be much faster than a single CPU, all other things being equal. But the Duo Core chips use more power, so your battery life will suffer, all other things being equal. This may be worth it, if you are doing computationally intensive stuff, and if your software / operating system can take advantage of the additional CPU. Otherwise, it will make little difference. \n\n========\ngraphics performance\n\nOne computationally intensive use that's common is gaming. it takes a good deal of effort to calculate color brightness and shading for each pixel in a scene, and there are lots of scenes. In fact, it takes so much computational power that vendors have largely given up on making the CPU 9or CPUs) do it all. Recent graphics schemes, the ones that make game images snap and sparkle, during play require a lot of work from some processing chip. The best of the graphics processor chips have more computational power than nearly all CPUs, and they require comparable electrical power (draining batteries still more quickly). It's this reason that accounts for laptops rarely having cutting age graphics performance or CPU speeds. In particular, the graphics hardware in most laptops has low power needs and is hardly up to recent graphics performance standards. \n\n==============\nCPU architecture differences\n\nAnother issue, which will matter only if your use of the laptop needs it, is differences between various Pentium editions. Intel has added more instructions, and used different internal architectures, as they have designed new CPUs. These include new instructions (the SSE, SSE2, etc groups) and the 64 bit EM64T additions to the basic 32-bit core, in emulation of AMD's Opteron and AthlonFX approaches. But for the moment, until your applications can use those extensions, and until your operating system is fully 64-bit compatible, your EM64T CPU will be running mostly in 32-bit mode. And recent Pentium 4 CPUs have included something called Hyperthreading which speeds up some kinds of programs substantially. And, of course, various Intel CPUs have included more or less fast cache on the CPU chip itself. If this is done sensibly, cache (and more cache) can have dramatic effects on many kinds of program execution speeds.\n\nDepending on detailed comparisons between the CPUs you're considering, some (or none) of these differences between CPUs might be significant to you. See Intel's spec sheets for the CPUs you're looking at for the differences. \n\n\n\nIn your case, since you aren't a gamer, the merely adequate graphics hardware in most laptops will probably be acceptable. Your mention of graphics programming might mean image manipulation, and either CPU should do in that case. Photoshop and similar programs don't have to handle graphic manipulations in real time, and so their demands are much less for satisfactory performance than video (or near video -- such as games) processing. \n\nWord processing simply doesn't have so high requirements. After all, any CPU sits doing nothing for eternities between key presses, even for fast typists. There's lots of available cycles from most any CPU in most any word processing operation. \n\nSo, for you, which would be better? mostly, it depends on the work you'll be doing and the applications with which you'll be doing it. If they can take advantage of the processor features in one or another CPU (not something you can easily find out, probably even from the software de

Are you sure it support 533 MHz FSB? I think the 1.6 GHz processor you have (Pentium M 730, I suppose) is a 533 MHz FSB processor. If the DELL Inspiron 6000 has a intel 915 chipset, then yes, it supports 533 MHz FSB.\n\nWell, i'm not sure. But as long as you can open it up, and plug it in, I suppose it will work. I don't think you need a BIOS flashing as long as the processor is in the range available for purchase.\n\nI replaced my laptop's Pentium M 740 with a 2 GHz one and it works in my case. But I cannot guarantee. But 95% I suppose it will work.

I think I understand what you are saying a little better than the other people.  You are looking at the 1.86Ghz speed and comparing that to Pentiums in the 3GHz range and saying, well wouldn't the Pentiums be faster.  The answer is no, because speed is no longer the only important factor.  The new Core 2 Duos are based on a much better architecture, which allows them to do a lot more work than the old Pentiums, even at a lower speed.\n\nKeep in mind, this is not because it is dual core.  The Pentium Ds were dual core, and some had clock speed of 3.4Ghz and stuff like that, but the Core 2 Duo would still be faster because of its better architecture.  Also, don't listen to the people who said to just double the speed because it is dual core, that is incorrect, it just doesn't work that way.

actually the 64 bit version of AMD is up to 40% faster in benchmarks than the 64 bit Intel. Considering the fact that the Turion 2x (64bit mobile dual core) is about to hit the market soon I suggest you wait a bit

Well nothing to worry about this is just  becasue of memory management technique of 2.4 kernel on debian . please upgrade the kernel to  2.6 kernel. it will  shouw up single process becasue 2.6 kernel has better linux memory management techiniques. incase you need any help more you can ask me at kshounish@yahoo.com

Upgrade the Kernel to latest one .  this iwll resolve your issue incase its not hardware related issue.\n\ncan you just send me dmesg command output copied to me \nat kshounish@yahoo.com let me see if any hardware issues has comeup or else kernel upgradation to latest 2.6 shoudl work excellent.\n\n\nincase you need to  know how to do kernel upgradation mail me at kshounish@yahoo.com

Everyone here is correct. The Core 2 Duo whips major but t. Dont touch the the other chip as it is hot and inefficient.

i would go on eBay and see other notebooks that are near the hardware profile that you have. that will give you a good basis.

I would get a Pentium Duo Core (At least 1.8Ghz), about 1GB of RAM, 80GB Hard Drive (Preferably 7200RPM) DVD-R, and a 15.4 Truebrite Widescreen display.\n\nBut that's just me.

NO Xp Pro is probably the best os you can get currently but why are you changing to a Athlon? a intel pentium processor is better than a athlon but its your choice just a suggestion.\n\nHope i helped

You could probably build the exact same system for a lot cheaper, but if you can't do that I'd buy that.  Is that Pentium D a dual core processor?  If it is, I'd go for it.  I'd put this PC's worth at about 1500-2000, but that's just my opinion, I would wait for some others.

I am using my own computer, I have an HP, Pentium III, it's an old version, but I am satisfied with it, because it works good, enough memory and everything is just fine!
