yes there is a differenece in core duo and core 2 duo, latter has slight architecture difference(technically I too dont know much) and has 64bit support which is and would be default platform for future apps.

if possible go for single 1 gb memory stick, it would be easy for future upgrade,

go for home premium,

and how have you selected hdd partition, as in dell you have no freedom to have custom ones,


I think the days are not far when we could assemble notebooks to our own choice and at much cheaper price.

I can partition HDD myself as I talked this issue in Dell they said you can partition yourself your HDD. You can customize as needed partition yourself. Yes it support maximum 2 GB Memory i.e. 1 Gb x 2. not going for home premium because it would need more RAM as Dell recommends 2 GB RAM for this. Core Duo Doesnt support 64 Bit?????? I think that AMD Processor in 1501 model support 64 Bit and this Intel dont? AMD is cheaper with 64 bit support and dual core processor. Please check if Core Duo support 64 bit or not?

Today the Dell Man Keerthan again called me asking cheque but I finally decided to wait some more and collect money to extend budget for core2duo at least. I asked that man to give RAM 1 GB stick but he said Vista Need dual channel Stick so he cant help it. Thanks Ganesh I read your blog, it helped me so much.

I will insist sure and talk another salesman too. I asked him upgrading is problem if you provide RAM in both slot so leave one I will buy 1 GB RAM later from Dell but he said 512*2 will be provided. But I have decided finally to extend budget and go for Core2Duo to further one month waiting for arranging money. Its already huge expenses I dont want my Lappy goes outdated soon when it comes to run latest application. Maybe price would fall too. Thanks all buddy here for helping me.

@abhinav_bipnesh: You can configure Dell Inspiron 1520 with the same config as the ASUS G1S-A1. Surprisingly, You can get it for cheaper than the ASUS. So, go with the Dell. You can save another 4-5k by upping the RAM to 2GB after purchase on your own. If your budget allows, get 3-year complete cover on the Dell.

@sourabh: Ya you are right but what i know is that Dell Inspiron 1520 does not come with Intel's Santa Rosa platform chip mainly M965 chip set which i am looking for. So please tell me that whether it is coming with the same chip set or not then I can go with as my budget is up to 80K as I am looking for a laptop which come with the latest hardware with this budget so that I can have a good gamin performance & i can go for development work also.
So any other good option are welcome Please hlep me out.:confused::confused::confused:
