Laptop is faster than my desktop...correct???????

you should be able to find a bundle deal for a core upgrade (MB, CPU, RAM) which will work out the same price at the 1GB ram for the Laptop. Try and find a 2.5 Mobile Barton (hard to find now - but you can easily OC on nearly all MB's - even value ones) Leave the laptop as it is - everyone...

AMD A64 core confirmation

I don't want to install it to find out. As mentioned before the company I bought if from are very anual about returns policy. Example if I ordered a part and find out it was something else to company will say "you will have to keep it 'cos it's now second-hand and we can't exchange it"

What exactly is the purpose of Windows Media Center Edition?

You can obtain a trial version (!5 days I beleive) which sits on top of XP SP2, then when the days run out it automatically deletes itself. Those with a TV tuner card (with the right software support) can work their PC as a Tivo without having to fork out the extra money. My opinion: M$...
