Thread: Core2 Duo or Dual Core

Core 2 Duo is much more superior.

If you are a graphics designer, I suggest you use a quad core then.
Like a Q9550 or Q8600

But i want to Purchase a Laptop . my hardware engineer ask me core2 duo is not a successful Processor

no, core 2 duo is a gret cpu, overclocks like a champ and will never slow down.

Also if you are going to be doing designs you realize you need a good video card and a multi core cpu, 4 gigs of ram and a big HDD.
That will not be a cheap laptop.

I would say go with a goo dekstop also remember you can NOT upgrade CPU, video card in a laptop.

I know you aren't from America, but here would be an exmaple laptop I wouls suggest for you.

Newegg.com - HP HDX 18-1180US NoteBook Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000(2.00GHz) 18.4" 4GB Memory 500GB HDD 5400rpm BD Combo NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT - Laptops / Notebooks

but if you made a desltop it would be much much cheaper.

If you want to see a quad core desktop look at this thread, and look at the multi tasking machine.

Also, it can be cheaper and it will save you in the long run because you will be just able to upgrade it instead of needing a new one like you would a laptop.
