CPU speed is like your brain. It is the main processing center for the computer, it does all of the work. The bus is equivalent to your nervous system in your body. The system bus is the system that transfers the signals between the motherboard and everything connected to it. The CPU is just one of many parts that are connected to the motherboard, and are all connected by the system bus.It says the processor speed is 2.5...what's the difference between processor speed and bus speed?
AMD is a good processor , me personally I don't care as long as it is fast and works , the Radeon graphics use to give us Linux users a headache , but now that AMD bought ATI I think they are better and more Open Source friendly (haven't used a ATI product for 8 years now) , but I still stick with Nvidia because of their continued Linux support .Hmmm.....my wife just said she likes this one....http://i.walmart.com/i/rb/0088611169838.pdf
hmm, you can probably find steals on HP, since they are getting out of the pc market... ... I missed the dump of one of their lines of touchpads ($99 it was a steal)Hmmm.....my wife just said she likes this one....http://i.walmart.com/i/rb/0088611169838.pdf
North Bridge (cpu, ram ,graphics), South Bridge (pci,ide,isa,usb,bios).CPU speed is like your brain. It is the main processing center for the computer, it does all of the work.

Why do you think that? Keep in mind the conversation was about a laptop for $400, not "What is the fastest freaking thing I can buy, if I was going to spend thousands of dollars"amd is old news
Meh don't want to start a war but Macs are overpriced. You're paying for the customer service you're going to need every time it breaks.I advise Mac... trouble free.. worth the extra cost... Plus you can find some good refurbished deals at usedmac.com I have purchased quite a few computers from them... their customer service is good. However I know the rest of the world is on PC so it makes software costs a bit more expensive to stay compatible...
While everyone is going to disagree on a brand name, I do highly agree that for laptops, Intel CPU's typically run cooler, have better performance (actual and battery life). AMD has some nice desktop CPU's, but never really seem to stay caught up in the mobile market.I would suggest a Dell or HP. (I work with IBM products and would not recommend to anyone) I would also think about putting a little more money into it, you get what you pay for.
You want something that's gonna be good for a few years down the road with somewhat current hardware, not something that's gonna break down cause of cheap parts.
Dell and HP offer discounts through employee purchase programs, some are about 7 to 10%.
