text: Hi,\n\nBecause of the much photo and video editing. I highly recommend you buying the laptop with Intel's Core Duo.\n(Core Duo- is like have two cpu's instead of only one)\n-The more GB of ram the better.\n-Hard Drive I would also go with the bigger 100GB because it's stores a lot more pictures than the 80GB\n-The ATI X1600(video card- If you're a very serious gamer than go with the 256 MB version if you're not a serious gamer than go with 128mb)\n\nLet me tell you why I recommend you the Duo Core instead of the 2.0GHz\nThe Duo Core is right now Intel's newest cpu.The Duo Core was specially made for giving consumers a lot more performance for video editing,photo editing, autocad and lots more.\nNow by having a Duo Core what used to take you perhaps an hour to make(Video Editing), now will take you about 40min.or less.\nSo it really is a big improvement.
