Dual core is essential. It's the area of greatest impact for HDV editing. I just went from an Athlon 64 3400+ to an X2 3800 running at 2.2Ghz (OC'd) and I'm seeing a significant improvement in render times. 30-50% faster depending on project settings.

Dual core is essential because compressing video is almost entirely CPU to RAM limited. The bottle neck is how fast your CPU can getthe data from RAM and then run the millions of calculations needed to compress the video, combine pictures for fades, etc.

HD might also require a bit faster hard disk (for example, not the internal 4200RPM drives) like any 7200RPM or even a scsi 10K for some real fun.

Well, Dell has some refurbished/outlet laptops with scsi's in them. I was looking at that possibly.
