Its the same eclipse. Contingency plans, you see

Actually, its not just about eclipse. There are so many softwares which are only usable on a 17" screen. For example, audio editing and others.

there is no specific work that a 64-bit processor does.. its jus faster coz of more bandwidth and faster internal calculation.. a 64-bit processor will be faster than a dual core processor i guess..

besides dual core processors are fast only if u r running 2 applications simalteneously..

hmm..is that exactly what a 64 bit processor does? the processor that we have are 32 bit processor..that means we can only run 32 bit application, so lesser calculations in more time...but i guess a 64 bit can do more calculation in the same amount of time..i mean a hundred times more than a 32 bit processor...does a duo core processor do tha same?

What do you guys think about this deal?
Is there any use in giving 6000 bucks extra and buy it from the showroom. I am getting the same thing, with international warranty and bill etc with the distributor.
The prices are as enquired by me in Mumbai. Will it be cheaper in Delhi? or any other place?

If anybody is planning to have a lappy from US, then he can consider these options too..

Inspiron E1505 looks extremely enticing at 799$ only..

i.e. only for about 36000 Rs.

As far as I know, you can customize nothing in this .. atleast not as a part of the deal .. Maybe later you can add the card by buying it separately or something like that (not sure)

The only customizable part is that by going for the 14 inch screen and minus the DVD writer, you can save up on 4000 bucks .. But I wud defintly want to go for the writer ..
