^^Thanks for the reply.

But isn't E2160 'Pentium Dual Core'?? Will that be better than AMD X2??

And how is E4300(please tell me the price too) instead of E2160.

Sir if wan't to overclock ur system then buy e2160 otherwise amd is better. the e2160 will give better performance if it is overclocked but stock speeds are much better with amd.

 

[paranj]

^^+1 and if u really OCing than u can even beat some E45xx CPUs.. The E2160 is one hell of a overclocker!

 

[sonicspeed]

atom available

check deltapage.com

but VIA is more tempting..

sit it is a celeron processor.

You don't need a Core2Extreme to drive EEE PC

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

^ Sonic is right. Do check the page again. Its not Atom its Celeron. There are many Low-End config. which aren't Atom.
Deltapage clearly mentioned it is Atom or Celeron.

How come chip is available, when it isn't for OEMs yet.

 

[paranj]

Atom is far better than Celeron even for the Eee PC.

This thread hasn't been updated lately.Somebody should inform Choto Cheeta, and ask him to update this.

My friend is planning to buy a PC within range of 23000/-. Now is it possible to get a C2D config with onboard graphics within this budget or shall he opt for some other config.
He wants to get the best config possible within this range. Please help. Choto where are you ?

 

[nish_higher]

sit it is a celeron processor.

its atom dude..check that board specs first.

 

[mad1231moody]

Any ideas guys ??

Hey I said a C2D config not Dual core

 

[paranj]

Give 1.5k more and get C2D E4500

 

[mad1231moody]

Will the same mobo work with C2D E4500 ?
And he want to take a larger HDD, probably 250gigs or more. So anywhere where my friend can save money on

 

[paranj]

ya it will surely work! and i dont think he will save money as everything is real cheap and if u cut or buy a less-performing one than it will be bad. Please tell him to spend 1-2k more! hes spending 23k than y not 1-2k more?

AFAIK Atom is a rebranded Celeron usins a new fabrication technique and core optimisation to reduce power usage... Thus gives upto 1.5x times more performance over conventional single core celerons @ same clock... I read it somewhere in Wikipedia.. Maybe under the article describing Intel Atom??
