DELL INSPIRON 15Z: $549.00 starting price
What options - Core, cache, price, front side bus, and clock speed?
What are the difference between the two options?
System that is needed to run? Highest suggested processor speed?
What option will you select and why do you need to upgrade?
Options -Dual core, cache:3MB , price:$549.00, front side bus:800MHz, and clock speed:1.3GHz
Although, I am heavily focused on school, I still like to unwind in my free time so space for media applications is appreciated.
Crisp sound quality and an underlining bass tone would be ideal.
Intel Core 2Duo SU7300 [1.3GHz,800MHz,3MB] Add $65.00 or Intel Core 2Duo SU9400 [1.4GHz,800MHz,3MB] Add $155.00
I pick the second option.
The major differences is the room I'll be given to be creative & learn (MS Home and Student Suite and Internet Explorer 8 Browser), enjoy media software like my expanding music collection, and the fastness with which the system will run.
I'm looking for 4GB of RAM & 500GB 5400 or 7200 (rpm), because I want my system to be able to handle all the cutting edge projects that I'm focused on in school and in pastime. I'm also preparing for 3 to 4 years down the road I'll have the space for anything I may want to do.
Need to doublecheck information on Processors; you seem to be referencing hard drive space and speed and memory here.
ReplyDeleteIf you have three options...
Core 2Duo SU4100 [1.3GHz,800MHz,2MB] Included
Core 2Duo SU7300 [1.3GHz,800MHz,3MB] Add $65
Core 2Duo SU9400 [1.4GHz,800MHz,3MB] Add $155
Why upgrade? The ONLY difference between the included option and the $65 extra option is the 1MB more of cache. Are you going to notice that on the processor? And, if you do decide to spend the $65 is there enough of a difference between that one and the next one to justify another $90?
Honestly, if you were asking me which you should get, I'd suggest not upgrading the processor on this machine. I *might* suggest getting a different machine, if anything, but I wouldn't upgrade this one.
