Hello,

I have a HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook.

My exact CPU is:Centrino Duo T2050 @ 1.6Ghz (2 CPUs)

My question is if I have 2 cpu's then the combined speed is 2.4Ghz?

The reason I am asking is that I want to run some software and the min requirements are 2.2Ghz. I am wondering if my system is capable of handling this.

Many thanks,

Steve

To start with, Centrino is the name of the hardware package, NOT the CPU. The CPU is a Core Duo T2050 which is basically a dual core Pentium-M (which is basically an advanced P3). Each core runs at 1.6GHz...they are not combined.

"I want to run some software and the min requirements are 2.2Ghz"

2.2GHz what? P4? The Pentium-M is more efficient than the P4. It's said that a 1.6GHz P-M is roughly the equivilent of a 2.4GHz P4. All you can do is try it see how it goes...I don't think you'll have a problem.
