Can someone shed any light as to if this is a good processor Intel® Pentium® processor T4200
• 2 GHz, Level 2 cache 1 MB as i am thinking of buying a Hp Pavilion dv6-1133ea. I know the dual core duos are quite good but cant find much comparison of these processors.

It's in this list, the high end section, with a rating of 1241.

I would not consider the Pentium T4200 a high end CPU. The Pentium brand is used by Intel now for their budget CPUs. Notice that in the chart the T4200 you mentioned is near the bottom.

In order of descending performance levels (and price) Intel CPUs are segemented by these brands:

1. Core i7 series
2. Core 2 series
3. Pentium series
4. Celeron series

The processor is sufficient for most basic tasks though. If you are looking to do more, like play games or watch lots of HD movies I suggest spending a bit more on something more powerful.

how good a processor is can be very subjective, and really depends on what you want the pc to do. Unless high-end gaming(where the gfx card is more important) or mega-video editing, you probably won't see much difference day=to-day if you paid out twice as much on a processor..

It's a three page chart split by the general terms high, mid and low so it's near the bottom of page 1 and anything on there is going to be fairly decent.

Thanks for all the opinions i'm really lookiing to use it daily web browsing email music some videos photo's nothing intensive like video editing. I have had hp laptops before and found them quite reliable. It just seems a little confusing with all the different processors available i must admit a preference to intel over amd but thats just a personal preference.

Jaffa.

Any processor on the market today will run sweet as a nut doing basic things like that
