Turion64 x2 vs Centrino Duo 2 which is faster for FreeBSD and KDE Desktop?

2007-01-21 Thread Abdullah Al-Marrie
Hello, 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
