comp processors + such Options

[Toyoca]

hey guys i might get a new pc and im kinda confused about the new processors out there nowadays. i want a pc that could play the newest games for a while and just do everyday internet browsing of course and play movies. im looking @ a xps m1710 that comes with an Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7200 (2GHz/667MHz/4MB). is that fast nowadays? i know theres 3.8+ghz computers out there but hows a mere 2ghz duo processor? 2ghz seems low to me but i guess the stats are different. could someone explain. or do you guys recommend some laptop better less than 2500$? ty

heres the deal. All processors out today function fine under most scenarios. If you think processors are too slow upgrade to A dual processor unit or dual core. You want to play games, so were not going to look at your processor, we need to look at your Graphics card. If you wanna play games on your computer, put your cash into the graphics card, not processor.

well i would think we should think about both. for instance. my desktop (old, like 5 yrs) is only 1.8ghz and is bottlenecking my 256mb radeon graphics card.

Thats what I have. 1.8ghz w/256 Radeon @ 768mbs RDRam. The processor def. needs an upgrade but I"m waiting til I build a whole new machine.
