Specification

Processor
Intel vs. AMD?
A lot of debate about the second company. But in fact the two companies is the best processors in the world and race each other to develop the type of processor best. Currently, Intel processors for notebook, have better technology to save battery. But most users will not encounter any difficulty brand prosesor. Because there is no difference in performance between the two light. Notebooks with AMD processors are usually cheaper price.

Technology, the latest Intel Mobile Processor
• Pentium M (Dothan) - Used in noteboook produced around 2004. This technology is made specifically for use in notebook and power needs to operate with a smaller and more cold than the preceding.
• Celeron M (Dothan and Yonah) - single-core processor (one core) is cheap, according to the most basic applications, such as office and graphics. But not able to support the weight of the application.
• Core Solo (Yonah) - Processor cheap structure made from the Core Duo, but has only 1 active core CPU. Core Solo replace the Pentium M in 2006.
• Core Duo (Yonah) - dual-core technology (two core) first from Intel. Core Duo (32-bit) to make 2 on 1 CPU processor without increasing power consumption.
• Core 2 Duo (Merom) - 64-bit version of the Core Duo, slightly better performance from the Core Duo and can run Windows Vista and 64-bit applications other.

AMD's latest mobile processors
• Sempron - Processor 1 core low in the old notebook. As a replacement of the Athlon. The latest version supports 64-bit applications.
• Turion 64 - Processor 1 core, 64-bit with a power consumption is lower than the Sempron
• Turion 64 x2 - Dual Core version, from 64-bit Turion

GPU
Nvidia vs. ATI?
This debate is a topic that is also popular. They both produce a good graphics card. Nvidia better in OpenGL technology and support Linux. While ATI has better ability in the game, anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. There are no differences between them be.

Most important you know how big the program needs to use your graphics card. If you use a 3D application or game that weight, you'll need a VGA with a dedicated high performance. If not, VGA Intel GMA 900/950 that already more than enough

RAM
