Dependable Processors and System Boards

 


intel

The Intel Core 2 Duo (and  Core 2 Quad) CPUs are the fastest processors available today!

Screams performance. Conserves power. Revolutionizes PCs. Introducing Intel® Core™2 Duo processor.
"So fasten your seatbelts, because Intel Core 2 Duo processor is the new high-flyer." -  
From: Tom's Hardware

If you are building a new system today, we suggest an Intel Core 2 Duo (or Quad) processor compared to an AMD Athlon. The Core 2 Duo is simply a better all around processor than the Athlon X2 and the Core 2 Duo processors are very competitively priced. A new Core 2 Duo build will also allow you an upgrade path to Intel’s Core 2 Quad later as they move into more conveniently priced categories.

After you add what's missing on the MacBook Air does it fit?

Just a note... Remember, Intel introduced the 5MHz 8086 on June 9, 1978.
 In 1982 IBM incorporated a less-expensive version of the chip dubbed the 8088. Now we are over 3000MHz (3.00GHz) with the Core 2 Duo and Quad Core+ chips.
 Intel's 5MHz 8086 processor was built with 29,000 transistors. Today's processors boasts billions of transistors.
