slow lap top
Is it really true that a laptop that do not say dual processor is real slow. Because we went in to look at lap tops and the sales guy there kept saying that the one we wanted that was cheap at best buy was real slow. What does he mean by slow it takes an hour for it to start up? Thanks for help. What are they talking about that is slow why would a manufacturer create a slow laptop. But then I thought they could be lying cause the OS is windows vista isn't that a faster OS cause its new. Were they lying to me to make me buy those 700 dollar ones.

Read my guide here for information on computer specs:

Dual-core processors are more efficient than single-core processors, so they are usually faster. A single-core processor can be faster than a dual-core, but that is rarely the case.
A computer with at least 1.8GHz dual-core/3.2GHz single-core and 2GB RAM will be fast enough for you. It will start in 1-2 minutes.
Vista takes up more resources than XP because it has more features. You are expected to buy a faster computer every few years, so the OSs get bigger and bigger. If you bought a Windows 95 machine and upgraded the OS but not the computer every time a new one came out, it would get progressively slower, and wouldn't even run at this point.
