How would a 1.8ghz core2duo w/ 800mhz fsb compare to a 2.0ghz core2duo w/ 667mhz fsb?

Would the 1.8 end up coming out faster because of the bus speed? or would the 2 ghz processor still beat it out.

If you need a specific example of something it would beat it out on, then I would be using it for video editing.

Also, even though the graphics card on a laptop with that combination is integrated, with 224 mb of shared memory, wouldn't it still make for fast gaming because the bus speed is so fast? or no..?

 

no, read the reviews the difference is minimal between 667 and 800 on a CPU. on CPU intensive programs, the difference is a bit larger but the 2.0 667 will still be faster.

as for your other question, no. the RAM is still running @ 667mhz and 800-667 is only 133. so considering CPU doesn't always play an important part in a game, even if you do go faster, it will still be too slow. graphics depend more on the card itself not the CPU

 

yeah the extra fsb will be more of a benchmark thing, it wont effect real world performance much, but a faster cpu is very much somthing you will notice in everything you do (and in benchmarks even more so)

the advantages of the new beerlake chipset (the one with 800fsb) is more of the ability to accept the 45nm pentiums when they come out, and it can take DDR3 memory. the extra fsb is more of a misc extra.

If you can overclock your memory to 800mhz or if you were ritch enough to buy DDR2 800 memory you would get abit more boost out of it, still nothing to write home about tho.

 

oh ok, so how much do you think those 45nm pentiums will be? I do think that's cool though. So basically, you're telling me this is one of those 'santa rosa's' , and it has a future?

see, I think that the way it is will keep me content for quite a while. While trying it in the store it was blazing fast (even for video editing)
