    So i'm looking at buying the sony vaio fw140 (can get it at 999 in canada) BUT

    Saw it at best buy and its listed as

    Sony VAIO 16.4" Laptop
    featuring Intel Dual Core Processor
    1.86GHz P8400 (FW140)

    BUT

    in the specs section it says

    Processor Speed 2.26GHz
    Processor Type Intel Core 2 Duo P8400

    Is this a 1.86 or is it 2.26 ? makes a difference to me so i would love if someone could help :D

    Hopefully i can continue with my order asap :D

    just google it. ;)

    First step:

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=FW140&btnG=Google+Search

    Very first result:

    http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/sony-vaio-vgn-fw140/4505-3121_7-33088924.html

    Took less time than logging in and posting this question and then posting again saying my answer is "clear as mud"

    lol no problem i wasnt offended. you must understand... i just got off of summer college school the other day..my SR is arriving monday, and i'm stuck at home right now with nothing to do but wait until it gets dark and go out with my friends (we are like vampires..only hang out at night for some reason lol). so..i'm a little tense :O

    no prob with asking questions here, you are not wasting anyones time. if you where, then why are those people here in the first place? :) So ask away! BTW.. alot of people use the phrase "just f.... google it"
