Hi looking for some advise please. A friend is looking at hp laptop and was wondering if the processor is any good. It is a AMD ATHLON 64x2 TK53.

The laptop its self is Hewlett Packard Pavilion DV6527EA
Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Andy

I have AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Proccesors, i have been told....to get the best out of it you must use equal amounts of memory in two separate sticks.

Hi thanks for the reply. I see what your saying but is it a decent enough processor. Thanks Andy

Dual Core 64 bit processor in a laptop.....it's a very good processor.....a better one is the AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 , but will obviously cost more.

Agree with kndusr, turion is a better processor, will use less power than the athlon. Think the Intel core duo is the better core around at the moment but again price is a factor. Saying that I run the Athlon in my desktop and turion in the laptop so I'm contadicting myself a bit!! Like to support the underdog!!!

I think it what you want to use your Computer for as to witch CPU would be the best for your application .
