    I'm looking at a Vostro 1000 with Vista and 2gb of memory and it has a choice of 3 processors:

    1) AMD® Athlon 64 X2 Mobile Technology TK57
    2) AMD® Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL58
    3) AMD® Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL60

    How do I discern between the 3? Obviously since the third one is the most expensive it must be the most powerful/best. But how do I know how much processing power I'm getting with 1 or 2 since there's no Ghz mentioned?

    The TL class processors use less power and produce less heat than the TK class. The TK57 is a 1.9Ghz as is the TL58. The TL60 is a 2Ghz

    The whole TK TL think I knew. Basically the higher up the alphabet the second letter is the more energy efficient the processors are. I knew the clock speed of the TL 60 and TL 58. I had to look up the clock speed of the TK 57 though.
