New laptop: AMD vs Intel processors!

[Milado]

I have no experience with AMD, nor Intel processors. My current PC has a 733MHZ Intel Celeron processor

Which one do you advise me to have? and why?

A laptop with:

1- 1.9 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core 1MB L Cache 2 + Memory of 2048 MB
2- Intel Core Duo processor T2450 2.0 GHz / 2 MB cache + Memory of 1024 MB
or
3- Intel Core 2 Duo processor T5300 1.73 GHz/ 2 MB cache + Memory of 2048 MB

Edit:
Intel Core Duo vs. Intel Core 2 Duo, which one?

[MrNase]

Get the Intel Core 2 Duo. :)

(the newer the better ;))

[---MAD---]

Intel core duo 2 is the new version of core duo. I agree with MrNase, go with the new stuff ;).

[Milado]

Even if it was only 1.73 GHz?

[unitedpunjab]

Core 2 duo, Also think about investing in a dedicated graphic card.

[ManagerJosh]

None of the above.

Get a Centrino 2 Unit :)

[Milado]

Why do you recommend Centrino 2 over Core 2 duo?

AMD cannot and has never compared, it's not even a question. They have consistently been behind on processors, thats why on all those pc deals of a great price they are offering AMD cuz it's not as good.

That is quite an arguable statement.

Core 2 Duo's fall under the Centrino Brand (not the Centrino 2 brand) and is classified under the Santa Rosa platform generation.

Centrino 2 falls under the Montevina platform generation. It's the latest one, and should offer increased FSB and utilizes less power.

I see, thank you.

What do you plan on doing with this laptop?

Business or gaming?

If you are planing a gaming laptop, then I would go with AMD
If you are planning a business, then I would go with Intel

I'll use it for various purposes. gaming, surfing, video activities, watching satellite channels and programing etc.
