The Intel chip is faster and is easier to overclock than the athlon.
Alienware m17x
That depends. Centrino is more of a technology used on processors, rather than a processor itself. Look at the actual processor type when you are looking at the specs. if it is a Mobile Pentium, the Athlon 62x2 is a better processor in most cases. However, if it is anything from the Core Duo or Core2 Duo line, they will be better than the Athlon in most cases.
The average FSB speed for an Intel Core 2 processor is about 1333 M. However, this speed depends greatly on the model, some are much higher or lower than that!
Intel Core2 Duo
The Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 processor has a 2.4 MHz clock speed, 4 MB L2 cache and 1066 MHz FSB Speed. It features an enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology Processor Fan and Thermal Monitoring Technology.
A processing core is a complete, independent processor. Each core has its own ALUs, fetch-execute cycles, pipelines, and cache, but shares some support circuitry with the rest of the processor. A dual-core processor simply means that there are two independent processors in a single package.
The Intel Pentium line encompasses many processors of many different architectures ranging from the original Pentium Processor of 1994 up to the Core 2 Duo based Pentium simply called the "Pentium". The Intel Pentium used to be Intel's flagship processor. Recently this position has been taken by the Core 2 Duo and Core i7. The Pentium now is reduced to a budget processor that offers lower performance but also lower cost.
2.4ghz if that's what it states.
This depends. There are different types of Intel core 2 duo processors and AMD phenom X3 processors. Intels generally run cooler, but they are expensive and suspectible to hardware failure when you overclock them. AMD processors run hot but will keep running until the computers shuts it down. They are often cheaper than intels and better value. Currently, Intel is leading the way in processor technology. Its a preference and there are trade-offs
The Compaq Presario C700 offered an Intel Core2 duo processor, 1 GB RAM, a 120 GB hard drive and 15" screen. The laptop operated on the Windows Vista operating system.
No you must have a Nvidia Graphics card/mother board / or cpu...
