The Intel Atom chip is a very low-performance chip because it is a
very basic simple design so as to use less electricity and emit less
heat.

Rounding error; that is 1GB.

Yes, but an AMD Turion 64 x2 is a vastly more capable chip. GHz do not
make much difference, any more than RPM makes difference to the power
of a petrol engine - it's the cylinder capacity that counts, not how
fast it revs.

The Turion is a 64-bit chip, as it says in the name, and it's
dual-core, which is what the X2 means.

It's about 4-6 times faster than your Atom.

In other words, twice as much - a big difference.
