Maxed Out Processor
Hello all,
At the moment I am very limited by computers performance, the processor is all ways maxing out at a 100% if multi-tasking. Or if doing a single task it juts, presently I have a Intel Core Duo @ 2.26ghz on a dell.
I am looking at Quad-Core i7 2.2GHz as a replacement, however not sure if it'd be better. I just like it because it is a thinkpad. Other options CORE i7 M620 2.67GHZ but it is an HP laptop and I'd regret buying it based on that fact.
Simply put would an I7 be an improvement, or is my issue more related to clock speed? I know a lot about the OS, but when it comes to hardware I am lost.
Thanks
