    laptop cpu

    now in my price range I can get a:

    Intel Core i5-2410M 2.3GHz
    or
    AMD QC A6 3410MX 1.6GHz

    would the quad core perform better than the other even with lower GHz?

    The i5 is better.
    Edit: the amd one is an apu, are you using integrated graphics on your laptop?

    Kind of vague details but are you trying to buy just a laptop cpu or a complete laptop? If just buying the cpu to upgrade what you have it'd be best advised to see what your current laptop supports. If buying a whole laptop then personally I'd suggest the i5-2410 as I'm biased towards Intel.

    You should post links to the laptops, or list the model numbers of them if you can't post links.
    There's a lot more to a laptop than just the cpu.

    Yea the acer one has an i5-2410m cpu and geforce gt 540m gpu... it's pretty good as far as gaming laptops go.

    I would actually recommend going with this one if you can:
    http://www.ebuyer.com/261157-acer-as...p-lx-rcf02-109
    Same laptop just different config... has a quad core cpu (same power as the i5 just double the cores).

    The Acer is much better.

    According to this site http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Rad...2.57266.0.html, the 540M is much better than the 6545G2, and the i5 will undoubtedly be much better than the apu.

    Most games don't use more than 2gb of ram.
    4gb will be plenty for a few years.
    People building pc's get 8gb because ram is dirt cheap and for future-proofing beyond a couple years.
    You can also upgrade ram in laptops... if you decide in a year or 2 that you really want 8gb.
