Which is better

by GuitarPlayer1982 Sep 8, 2010 6:14AM PDT

I need help in deciding which computer is more powerful. At my job my boss seems to think that the computer I am using is better for the job than my co-workers. We work with Graphic Design programs examples would be all Adobe products.

Here are my computers specs

Capacity is 74.5GB
XP os
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU
E4500 @ 2.20GHz
2.20GHz, 2.00 GB of Ram

His computer specs

Capacity 229GB
XP os
Intel Core 2 CPU
6400 @ 2.13GHz 2.13 GHz,
2.00 GB of Ram

Which PC has the most power behind it?

Looks like a draw.

One has a little more CPU MHz but the slower CPU has a higher front side bus so CPU for CPU it looks like a stale mate.

The small hard drive could be the decider as well as the graphic card.
