how much does 0.27ghz on core 2 duo processor matter?

In response to your post. The processor difference in terms of ghz won't be major, the ram should compensate for that although it serves a different purpose. Check what cache and front bus speed is for the HP, the apple's is 600+ mhz and 4 mb cache. So check those up. It really depends on ur use. If u require a larger screen then go for the hp. If u want more portability and a better os (my opinion at least), go for the mac. Just remember that if u go for the hp, u can't load mac os on it, whereas with the mac u can load both vista and tiger. Also, I would say the build quality on the apple is much better than Hp's i've seen (the plastic is much higher quality). Be sure check the model out IN PERSON to see the build quality. Check if ur down with that new shiny fimsy plastic Hp's been using.

I just bought and installed this on my MBP Intel Core Duo, and it works great. I would assume the Core 2 Duo wouldn't make a difference

I had a 240 and the upgrade wasn't amazing straight out of the box - if you're lucky and get one that you can unlock, then you're obviously in good shape. Otherwise you won't notice much improvement until you overclock it a bit - luckily there you have a lot of guides on the Internet specifically for the Phenom X2 550. Mine's running comfortably at 3.72 GHz, (1.45v, x15.5 multiplier, CPU up from 200 to 240) - it's on all the time because it's a work/media server, and restarts are only necessary when I'm installing updates (or it crashes playing Far Cry 3). For the price, it was a good stopgap upgrade, but I'm still looking to move to Intel at the middle-to-end of the year.

Hello David and thank you for your inquiry, Our model comes with a 2.26GHZ CPU speed. Thank you, Your EPower

Thanks for the advice but do you think the dual core would be better? It's cheaper as well.

Received my two and it is in fact 1.6GHz... I guess it was just amazon as usual not taking the time out to get these little details corret. Go ahead and buy and remember it only has 2gb ram so if ya buy two like i did you can just grab an 8gb kit and sell back one with 4gb... no brainer.

I have a Processor 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo as well and this is what I used so yes this will definitely work.

No. Here is a side by side comparison: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-3770K-vs-Intel-Core-i5-3350P

Definitely opt for the 2.4 GHz (notice that amazon has four different on same page); the 2.4 GHz is a bit more expensive.

Not real good on the technical stuff, when I pull up the system page, for processor it says: Intel Pentium CPUB490 @ 2.00GHz don't know if this is what you needed or not. If it isn't, if you let me know where to find it, I'd be more then happy to check!

I used this CPU to replace my Pentium D 2.8GHz CPU. My desktop boots faster roughly by about 15 seconds. Also overall its is more responsive. Though its not earth shattering but that was a welcome change to this older desktop. Is it fast? Not very fast but I am happy with this cheap upgrade. Also it depends on which processor you are comparing to.

I can't answer that question, I returned this product shortly after purchase since my daughter wasn't happy with the processor speed.

I agree with Alan.If you run the Performance Index you can see that the bottleneck comes from the CPU.BTW, I get 2.4 as Performance Index.

cant remember the exact number . but there is no oc on this processor&#65292;should be around 2.6

I don't know where you are reading 2-3, the description I read both from the Amazon site and from the back of my computer say- Processor, 3 GHz Intel Pentium Dual-Core.

The .3ghz won't make a huge difference. Both get incredibly hot, so a high quality cpu cooler is necessary.
