In your case, the HT has the edge for multiple active processes. In a year, when a 64-bit developer's package arrives from Microsoft (Visual 64?) I will be there...

I am in the market for a new notebook. I work with GIS and remote sensing software in which I frequently have multiple tasks running. I'm not very concerned with battery life or weight. So for my needs it seems like I would be losing some performance with a centrino system, right? What is the difference in systems running with AMD 64 processors and P4HT processors. Also, although the new windows is available for free download, isn't there a problem with drivers etc? Can you have both xp and the new system?
Thanks for any help
