learned something new every day in this group, lol, u guys really are pros..thanks ^^...CPUs was never my expertise here, guess i should avoid buying netbooks anytime soon...i still searching for a nice mobile system to replace my current laptop which the battery last only 10 minutes (after being revive via freezer)..
so, which is the cheapest that u guys can recommend me for acceptable CPU performance?
