Quad core question for the 17" way off in the future:
My budget limits me to around 350 dollars inc tax & shipping. Social Security forces me to save 50-dollars a month. Most are refurbished. Most of their low-end quad-cores have 1.5 or so processors. How do I compare a 1.5 GHz quad core to a 1.0 GHz dual-core? The 4-core is only 50% "faster" than my old laptop, right with 4 GB RAM vs 2? I wish I knew more about this stuff - I realize I know just enough to make me dangerous. Sites that deal with comparisons are so technical and deal with turbo and 3.8 GHz 5-core processors. I might as well be reading Sanscrit.
