If you're using an app that can use four processors well, then the Q6600 is a great choice. If you use apps that really only use one processor but chew them up, the 8400 is a better choice.

Never noticed any problems with it but then again I have only ever used the SD card slot. When I looked for the bluetooth device in my hardware display on XP it didn't show up at all - not even as a device with the yellow question mark. I assumed, maybe wrongly, that mine just didn't have the bluetooth feature. -- Red Squirrel
