Any way, I don't really have the inclination at this time to try and get the intel driver working when the vesa driver works good enough for me - I have bigger fish to fry, like trying to get the wireless working and configured. If in future I have need of it, I'll then look into it further. Quote:

I can understand why the engineers and designers put the F1 key where they did, even if I don't agree with it - but I cannot understand the placement of the function key. Oh well, at least it isn't as bad as engineers have screwed up car designs.

Does anyone have any info/opinion on whether it matters if you get "dual core" or "core2 duo" for freebsd? I know core2 is the way to go but my last laptop, which just died, was a P4 so either would be better than what I had but I can't get myself to get anything but a core2. The prices on the dual core, however, are $100-200 cheaper and I'm cheap. My last laptop was given to me for free.
Are both of those 64-bit? I just read something that gave me that impression. I really haven't read up on this stuff, and I'm a former hardware guy! So, above, someone said I should look into the Turion64. I'd be just as happy with someone's 3-year old Windows "upgrade" throwaway. Something that, if it broke in a couple years, I wouldn't care. |

Core 2 Duo descendants (T5xxx / T7xxx / T8xxx / p8xxx) are 64bit CPUs, Core Duo descendants (T1xxx / T2xxx) are 32bit CPUs, its best to check @ Wikipedia first:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...icroprocessors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...icroprocessors Recently they also added T3200 (Code Duo) and T5800 (Code 2 Duo) CPUs which are not listed @ Wikipedia. You can also check Intel's Processor Finder: http://processorfinder.intel.com/det...px?sSpec=SLAVG http://processorfinder.intel.com/ Imho get used Dell Latitude / IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad with Core 2 Duo t7xxx / t8xxx.

My T61 with a Core 2 Duo (T9300) and 4GB RAM flies! I've never been a big fan of Intel - always being an AMD fan - but I have no complaints with this processor.

>AMD processors are behind in terms of performance, raw performance
They are cheap, they have a low power consumption (sometimes better than Intel apart from their Quads) and last not least don't choose your hardware according to some benchmarks but your very own needs. Choosing according to benchmarks is stuff for youngsters or PR mumbo jumbo for big companies to kick some other companies ass and to lure some easy minded customers into some suicidal buying behaviour.
