Does anyone know if Dell is going to put Dual Core processors into the XPS M140?
403254
I was actually chatting with a Dell rep online today trying to decide between the e1505 and xps m140.  He said "to be honest, the xps m140 is going to change in a few weeks."  He said they were going to add dual core processors.  But he said if I needed a multimedia computer with dual now, I should go for the e1505.  I assume that is why the price is plummeting on the xps m140- cheapest configuration under educational purchases is $636.

Problem with core processors is very little applications take advantage of the multi cores. Yes, it is faster then the regular core duo. I don't remember the speeds check out http://tomshardware.com for reviews perhaps they did one on this.

Dell XPS is a great system. Alienware make better gaming machines...Gateway...they just plain suck.  gateway and e-machines merged a while back. Now its just a bigger company that sells crap computers.

Support.dell.com has diagrams of the components, but they will not give you the design plans (which is what I think you are looking for)

Intel Core 2 Duo for laptops.\nIntel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 for desktops.\n\nAMD doesn't even come close.

No.\nIf you have listed everything you want your laptop to do you aren't going to need to spend money getting a great CPU. Focus on ensuring that it has enough RAM (at least 512MB) and you should be sweet with any of the listed processors.\n\n///

If you're a gamer the Dell XPS kicks some major butt. It is kind of heavy though.

it is very cheap because it's impossible .. ;)\na Dell Inspiron 6000 has a Pentium M or Celeron M processor with socket 478. a core duo needs a socket M, so you had to replace the mainboard what is about the same as getting a new notebook.

The Intel Core 2  Duo processor is ripping the scene up right now.  Almost all computer manufactures are using this processor in their high end systems.\n\nWhen purchasing the computer make sure it says "Intel Core 2 Duo" and not "Intel Pentium D (or Dual-Core)."  That is an older model that uses much more power and delivers less performance.\n\nIt is okay for your Core 2 Duo processor to have a lower clock speed than its Pentium D counterpart.  (Ex, a Core 2 Duo at 2.4 GHz will outperform a Pentium D at 3.0 GHz).\n\nRemember that if you plan on gaming your video card is just as important as your processor.  If you  have enough money try and grab a Nvidia 8800 series card (totally rocking the gamer scene right now).\n\nGood luck and enjoy your new computer!\n\nUpdate:  A good company with reasonable prices and excellent support / warranty is Dell.  www.dell.com.  You might be able to get a cheaper system from a local computer dealer, or even cheaper if you build it yourself.  Be aware that this hot hardware requires at least some knowledge of cooling and power supplies if you plan on building yourself.

Intel's Dual Core CPU's have 17 major flaws in them that have appeared in the last 4wks. They aren't telling to much about it until they can fix the problem. The 1st of the Dual Core CPU's will not be replace with new fixed ones. The CPU's are in the BETA stage....Sorry...But there's not fix at this time....Thanks
