Computer A New
What is a good processor speed for a new computer with a dual-core processor?
I am thinking about buying a new laptop PC. I want to know if the processor speeds I see on most new computers is comparable to my current computer. I have a Pentium 4 processor now that is 3.2 GHz. I see most of the newer computers seem to be at around 1.6GHz, but that is on the newer dual-core processors. Will the newer computer run as fast as my current one? I am deciding if I should have this one repaired or get a new one.
I would look at the eBay completed listings prices for a similar computer to decide if it was worth repairing.
Any 1.6 GHz dual core type processor is faster that your single core P4 3.2 GHz.
A new computer running Vista will roughly require twice the processor performance than a computer running XP to run about the same. Also you will need 2GB RAM with Vista Home Premium (recommended).
Speed does not mean much any more. AMD and Intel dual type processors and their different models have vastly different performance even when run at the same GHz. To be able to compare performance see “CPU gaming performance charts”
