    In the pi calculating thread, a lot of people seemed to have Core Duos, so let's see how all this looks in a poll.

    Turion here, although my former Pentium 4 laptop still works. I guess you can't vote twice...

    Cheers.

    P4, which may soon be replaced with a Duo. Despite all the hating on laptops with P4's, mine's been good to me, even with battery life.

    Is it actually called "Intel Core Solo?" To be honest, I'm not a fan of making up names just because they are opposite to the name of another series, such as "Intel Core Duo."

    A Diablo II example of this was people calling characters "Softcore" characters if they were not Hardcore characters. Sorry if I pay attention to details and technicalities :eek:

    Well.. In my desktop I have an AMD 3200+ running at 2.51 ghz. But I sold my XPS M140 with a Pentium M, and I'm going to be getting either the Asus W3j or A8jm by the end of the month. So Core duo is what I'll have ;)

    Cowabuna, look at the number of Core Duos! You people replace your computers too often. :p

    I'm still using my "old" Pentium M 750 1.86GHz in my Dell (gaming rig) and a Turion 64 ML-40 2.2GHz in my Compaq (school/work/otherwise on the road machine).

    Yeah, the less powerful processor is in my gaming rig. Go figure.
