this puts the argument to rest . AMD TL 56 IS faster than intel t2050. But in a notebook the performance is decided by many more things. I wouldnt go for anything below tl56 though. With pentium dula core t2050 and above you wont go wrong drastically. With tl50 however you will.

no reason why it shouldnt work my friend make sure you get an ADSL one and not a cable broadband router and you will be fine

The router will work fine, however I'd advise against DLink if possible as I've had problems with them in the past!

Try Linksys/Netgear. Any router will work as long as your computer/laptop has an ethernet/network connection.

But neither the TL56 or T2050 Core 2 are part of the cheaper offers which have been mentioned here, so why the comparison ? They are BOTH more expensive !

Yep, sorry for going slightly off topic with this one.

The TL50 is still a good processor, especially for that price!

Called them up and they quoted £50 for MCE - and another £20 if you want the CD for it. S

You might as well buy MCE OEM seperately if they want that much! Under £60 OEM I believe?
