I plan to buy a new notebook and will use FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, I have
2 choices, Turion64 x2 with 2.0 GHz and Centrino Duo 2 with 2.0 GHz,
but with 2 GB DDR2 ram, with the same speed of the hd 5400 RPM.
So which of them will buildworld, and ports from source faster? both
of them will use AC not on battery when do these stuff.
I doubt that you will notice any big difference. While the AMD64 port is
quite nicely tested and very swift by now, the optimizations towards
Intel aren't bad either - even though this isn't true 64Bit processor.
In this case the HD will probably be the bottle-neck, not being able to
read and write the data quick enough to cause 100% CPU load. You would
have to 'make -j 4' at least to get anywhere near 100% load (I even have
to do that for 2 UltraSPARC II CPUs with 450MHz). And that really causes
load on a hard drive.
Just my 2 cents...
