blemishednicely -> RE: Dual vs Quad Core. (2/26/2010 6:48:14 PM)

Here's 2 quick questions:
1. What's the diff (if any) between dual core and duo (centrino, I think)? which is better or more powerful, also (not nec same) which's more recent?
2. My A100 *SUCKS* like we're talking not even 3 yrs old & can't run UFO Enemy Unknown (circa 1999) without overloading hurtin shared (AAGH-hate it) GCA very shortly, so I was gonna buy a new mobile. I WAS planning (pretty much after I turned on A100 for 1st time) way back to replace mobile with AlienWare (M-80, I think) cuz those boys had a company model down right. Go figure by the time I decided they were stable (company only began around '95, but OMFG non-proprietary software...HEAVEN!!!), decided to jump in and *DUN-DAH-DUUH*.....they sold themselves to Dell (the very type of company they were against in ideals when they began waging war on poorly comprised, ill explained, command lines needed but not provided DOS days-it's WHY they began in 1st place! 1st true "right out of the box" rigs made)
NEEDLESS to say I'm disheartened and ready to scrub my dreams of glowing badass portable gameboxes but before I do, has anyone TRIED one of these (what I-DISAPPROVINGLY-call) "DellWare's"?
Did they have the brains to keep AlienWare AS IS & reserve it as their "high end" line, or did they just go for the fast cash and start stuffing as much stuff as they could direct from their own production line inside, forever cheapening the A-W brand & effectively killing their golden goose?
won't buy till I know & like hell Cust Serv Rep'll gimme a straight answer...my ToshA100 taught me that much at least-
"Why don't we just focus on why we're all here, because I'm WAY too stoned right now, OK?"
