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

ive been out of the 64 bit loop, but last time i checked alot of games and software are not 64 bit compatible. Are you sure you should recommend this for a gaming platform ? Or have things changed?

Are you sure you should recommend this for a gaming platform ? Or have things changed? EVERYTHING is going to 64 bit now, it will become standard pretty soon. (soon as in the next year or 2) Im using Windows XP x64, which runs quite a bit better than your standard XP Pro, also Vista will ship in a x86 (32 bit version) and an x64 (64 bit version). Anywho, as far as gaming and stuff goes, check this out, it should answer your comment on are games going to 64 bit (or higher) processors.
