    So its christhmas i open my laptop I got the Acer aspire 5672 BUT i orderd the 2Gig DDR2 Version with 120gig HD as in my signature but it turns out its the 5672 1gig ddr2 and 80gig hd with no webcam.

    Now comet.co.uk were i got it from only list the lower version (80 gig hd 1gig mem with no webcam) at 600 i orderd my 5672 at back end of nov for 800.

    http://www.comet.co.uk/cometbrowse/product.do?sku=315036

    But its single core cpu so it wouldnt be as good or last aslong correct?

    Their is also this the Aspire 5634 but its GFX are 7300 and i wanted atleast X1400 which ive tested today on the laptop anyway and it performs well but i cant see the GeForce 7300 doing aswell?

    The link for that is this:

    http://www.comet.co.uk/cometbrowse/product.do?sku=363294

    I will tell you, myself, I have yet to find any need for dual core.
    There is 2 main settins I use, 800MHz, and 2Ghz, I've used 2GHz once, to try a game, thats it.
