Besides I'm sure you guys love being high and mighty in the virtual world (if not in reality).
:D
Anyways. To the point:
MAKE:
What difference does it make if it's DELL, Toshiba, Acer, etc?
Sony's seem to cost more, regardless of specs. A reason? Or is it just iPodism.
PROCESSOR:
This may be where I've been going wrong all this time. I thought that GHz and RAM made your computer slow or quick. But then there are all these names and things, so:
What is special about Celeron?
What is special about Mobile Centrino?
What is special about HT Technology?
Why do some require dual RAM?
ALSO:
How standard is Firewire and USB 2.0?
When's Pentium 5 coming out and will it mean that it's pointless getting P4?
Thanks in advance.
> Well, as far as makes go, it makes little difference.
Rubbish.
Heard of the cell chip?
PS2
;)

I was thinking about one of these 2 set-ups:
1) Dell Inspiron 5160(laptop)
Mobil Intel P4 with HT
2.80 GHz, 1MB L2 Cache, 533MHz FSB
15.0 XGA LCD screen
Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition SP2 (No Media)
£678
2) Dimension 3000 (desktop)
Intel P4 processor with HT
3.0GHz, 800fsb, 1MB cache
Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition SP2 - English
£631
As for CPUs, go for a P4 or an AMD. P4 is probably the easiest to get in a pre-made PC, and don't worry about P5.
As we're talking CPUs, around 2011 there'll be a new type of chip, using nanotechnology. Heard of the cell chip? It's infinately more powerful and smaller.
So really, as there are leaps being made in making PC parts out of atoms / elements rather than say, metal or silicon, they are making everything faster, smaller and just damn right cooler.
