comp processors + such Options

[Toyoca]

hey guys i might get a new pc and im kinda confused about the new processors out there nowadays. i want a pc that could play the newest games for a while and just do everyday internet browsing of course and play movies. im looking @ a xps m1710 that comes with an Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7200 (2GHz/667MHz/4MB). is that fast nowadays? i know theres 3.8+ghz computers out there but hows a mere 2ghz duo processor? 2ghz seems low to me but i guess the stats are different. could someone explain. or do you guys recommend some laptop better less than 2500$? ty

xps are fast machines but its still a dell.

yeah, buy a dell.....and you won't be doing much of anything!

got any recommendations? or actually know anything about processors?

btw y dont ppl like dell? xps always gets good reviews

what are u guys talking about? The Dell 1710 is probably THE BEST laptop on the market atm. So what if its a Dell, its a computer. Dont always fall for the Build your Own/Add your own parts its cheaper theory. If you have $3500 to spend on a gaming laptop, go with the the XPS with the T7600G processor. You wont regret it. Now if your strictly into gaming keep in mind, laptops are much harder to upgrade than desktops. My buddy has an XPS and loves it, I played Quake 4, Unreal 2004, and FEAR on it a few times, ran it with no problems. Im in the market for a nice gaming laptop, except im gonna hold on since Intel and AMD said they are rushing to get the first Quad-Processor out on the market. So I might hold off for another 5 or 6 months until that happens. Anywho, like I said, if your looking for the best laptop money can buy, go with the 1710 or the alienware m9700.
