We have a laptop with a pentium dual core and it way our perfoms this old dell of mine.
When Intel changed their naming system I became lost in what is and what isn't the better processors. Sure wish I had some help with understanding them.

I'll have a look at some lenovo desktops to see what I can find. I really don't have any need for a big box at all as long as I've got a machine that lets me do AutoCad, with wine that is, and surf the web. AutoCad 2000 which I have isn't that big of a hog so it really doesn't take that much processor power to run it just fine for the work I do with it.
