The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Intel CD2 T8300/9300 vs AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-68

Zones: PC Laptops, Computer CPU Processors, Personal Computers

Tags: AMD vs Intel

Hi all,

I'm about to buy a new laptop. It will be my main development machine, used for heavy stuff (VS, internet development, DBs and more), so I need plenty of RAM and beasty perfomance. Using HPs site I assembled two laptop - one is Intel based and the other is AMD. My question is this: based on concurrent benchmarks and technologies used, what is better - Intel's T8300 or AMD's TL-68 (notice the clock speeds are the same)? the laptop I could build with AMD is considerably cheaper than the one with Intel, but since I've never had AMD before I'm not sure wheather its a good choice.

I have priority for HPs since I have an HP for a long time and its good and not pricey, and also b/c of their international warranty. If you know of much better options let me know (perhaps even good places in the USA/NY to get those for cheaper prices than HPs site?).

BTW - I'm assuming Core Duo 2 is much superior than Pentium Mobile (which reminds me of Pentium M)...

Any comments will be highly appreciated, its been a while since I messed with HW...
