She then went on to say I will notice a big difference down the road and while watching video and chatting. can someone please shed some light on this? -cfs |

Well the 2.4Ghz can process your videos movies etc. faster, But Id say a 2.0 would do just fine doing just that at a 400Mhz difference I imagine it wouldn't take more than a few seconds to do what you would like to do.
It you mean chatting via webcam, then yes go with the 2.4Ghz those 400Mhz will make a difference. Its up to you. This post has been edited by xXAlphaXx: Feb 12 2008, 09:45 PM |

Wondering why it would make a difference video chatting when I currently use a Toshiba Dynabook Intel Celeron 2.5Ghz. with a 500mb hd with no issues. Movie editing (rendering) takes forever on it though and watching abc.com is awful. Thanks, cfs Just wondering the thinking, not debating  |

QUOTE watching abc.com is awful. That is a problem with your network not being able to stream the video to you fast enough, and has little to do with your processor speed. A 2.0 vs a 2.4 is an extra four-hundred million ticks per clock cycle, meaning that it will be roughly 17% faster. You just can't count on that helping with anything requiring transfer of data over the Internet. If you can afford it, get it. -------------------- |

Do you think that a ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT with 128MB memory will allow a good video flow? Thanks, cfs |

Again, how well you video 'flows' has a lot to do with how good of an Internet connection you have, download speeds. network congestion, and server loads.
