turion or centrino?

[splinterxcell]

hey .. can someone help me out? which is better for gaming.. turion technology or centrino?

I would say Turion since it is just a moble AMD64 and a Centrino is effectively a moble P4. AMD does usually our perform on the gaming front. The only I would be a little bit worried about is that the last I heard there was some heat issues witht the Turion. Course I haven't been playing all that much attention so they could have this fixed and there isn't any issues anymore.

Well first of all, Centrino is not a CPU. It's a pack consisting of a Pentium-M CPU, a chipset (from Intel of course) & the WiFi module.

As far as the Pentium-M goes, it's almost as effective as the Turion when it comes to gaming & it uses a little less power. The real difference will be in the VGA card more then anything.

Warning! Warning! Danger Will Robinson! Danger!

An Intel Video Chipset? ugh
128Mb VRAM? puke:

Gotta get a GoForce or a Mobility Radeon if you want gaming, but be prepared to sacrifice battery life like mad.

Um, Jumbo249, for your information

Celerino = Running in 32-bit X86 Operation System

Turion64 = Running in 64-bit X64 in X86 OS.

I will just go for mobile that have long battery life, not game because i want use it for education use only.
