    Hi peeps

    I bought a 5101WLMI. Thought that I was puchasing a Turion dual core procerssor but in fact this is only a single core 2.0 GHz. Can you tell me what sort of gains I would get in having the 1.6GHz dual core model i.e 5102? All the sites I go to advertise the 5100 series as dual core 64 x2 technology. Why??
    thanks for any replies

    I quickly retract my previous comment, the 5101awlmi comes with a single core Turion. Why were you under the impression it was dual core, is that what it was listed as on the retailers site? If so get in touch, thats false advertising and you should be able to get a refund quite easily.
