Will this laptop be able to run anything?

You forgot a word there. What exactly are you comparing it to?

Unless the core 2 duo system has a god awful GPU and you're running a GPU heavy application there is no way that is possible. Or perhaps the core 2 duo system is overheating and being throttled? There must be something wrong with the system otherwise it defies every single piece of data collected about the two architectures by hundreds of organizations and tens of thousands of users. If you have indeed found such a chip you must prove it to the world.

LOL p4 is certanly NOT faster then a core 2 duo,even if it has 700 mhz higher clock.
Care to post some screenshoots as proof ?

[daaceking]

Core 2 quad

Edit, no. I don't need to prove it. Take my word or don't. I don't care

Still not possible. If it was running at 2.33GHz then it must have been a Q8200 unless it was underclocked.

[daaceking]

Yep q8x00

Im not lying but like I said not bothered. Sometimes you have to take things on faith

Nobody is going to believe something that ridiculous on faith alone. Either show us the evidence or don't. But don't advise newbies based on things that have been repeatedly proven wrong unless you have some evidence to dispute the facts with.

[daaceking]

Yeah, thanks for that. Whatever

It's the Q8200 he's talking about. And NaturalViolence is correct.
Even at these low clocks the Q8200 outperforms a P4 at 3.6GHz.
As said before, there's no way your CPU will outperform a C2D/C2Q.

If you stand so firmly in the results of your comparison, why don't you share them?
We're not going to blindly take your word for it because it's impossible.

You advise your way and I'll advise my way.

I wouldn't be able to prove it anyway because I would need to do screen capture. The p4 would struggle while the core 2 would just use another core

That's not a valid excuse. If the framerate changes while the screencapture is going on it won't effect the screenshot. It's sequential logic. Just hit print screen.

If you keep giving bad advice to newbies and using that as an excuse people are going to get pretty pissed.
