I have just purchased a HP Pavilion dv6-6117dx Laptop: AMD Quad Core A8-3500M 2.4GHz, 15.6" LED 1366x768, 4GB DDR3, 500GB HDD, HD 6620G, WiFi-N, 6-Cell Battery, Win 7 Prem $430.
My friend says that it is equivalent to a low end sandybridge core i3 but I say it is more comparable to a sandybridge core i5. Who is right? I have some money riding on this!
Can anyone help me in optimizing it to run Dolphin? If i buy another 4gb of ram will that help in aiding a smoother emulation of the system?
Also, I heard you can overclock this system. Running through various forums, I cannot get a concrete answer as to overclocking shortens the lifespan of a computer system.
