Is it true?
Some do, some don't. Check Intel's web site to be sure: http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2duo/mobile/specifications.htm http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2solo/specifications.htm In the current gen of cpu's, Intel has AMD beat in total performance and performance per watt. AMD's only real advantage is lower cost for budget builds. Cheers, Kelly Clowers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
