    After bargaining, the seller offer me 2 options. But I dont know which one should buy:

    SZ240 and SZ340 have the same configuration and price, the only difference is the processor: 1) SZ240: Coreduo 2.16GHz, and 2) SZ340: Core2Duo 1.83 Ghz.

    Which one should I decide? thanks

    Core Duo 2.16, although the difference would never be noticable.

    Thank you.
    There is no bechmark CD2.16 Vs. C2D1.83. Some people say the CS2.16 is faster, while C2D1.83 supports 64-Bit applications.

    Yes, I believe you are looking at 32 bit versus 64 bit. Both processors will be very fast, there is no doubt about that. I don't think there are any clear advantages to having 64 bit at the moment. If you are looking at holding onto this notebook for a while, you may want to consider going for the Core 2 Duo.
