    I am seriously considering buying DV2 with following configuration:

    • MD Athlon™ Neo Processor for Ultrathin Notebooks MV-40
    • 4096MB DDR2 System Memory (1 Dimm)
    • 320GB (5400RPM) Hard Drive (SATA), SuperMulti 8x DVD+-R/RW Drive
    • Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium 64-bit with Service Pack 1
    • 12.1" Diagonal WXGA High-Definition (8) HP LED BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800), ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3410 Graphics


    90% of my PC use would be internet browsing, photoshop elements editing and rarely watching some normal dvd movies.

    Will this configuration be good enough for this, or I *must* consider dual core.

    unless your heart is set on 12 inch,I would suggest waiting untill the DM3 is released,might be cheaper or drive the price of the DV2 down more

    The weak processor is not recommended for Photoshop.
