Should I replace my Intel mobile 2.0Ghz laptop for a Intel Core 2 duo one?

Question

I have a Compaq Evo N610C laptop with an Intel pentium 4Mobile 2.0GHz @ 717MHz, and was wondering if the new laptops with Intel Core Duo or Intel Core 2 Duo were any faster? I generaly edit photos and video as well as the other normal stuff! Thanks :-)

Answer 1

You should replace them..the Core Duo ones is faster then the old ones by almost 60% if u compare it to a 2.0ghz core duo....

Answer 2

The Core2Duo series are much much faster than what you have now.

If you do serious video editing (as I) then you will surely benefit from the increase in performance.
Depending on which model you choose, it will cut down the processing time to as low as 15% of the time it takes your preset unit to render a video file.

Answer 3

Yes you would pick up CPU speed with the new one but maxing out the RAM in your old one may do you more good and be cheaper. You didn't really give us enough info on your system to make a really definitive suggestion.

Answer 4

If you want it to go faster you should exspecially if your into gaming , but if you are really into gaming youd have a desktop ,but ya duel core processors are the shizzy . fast fast fast
