[linux-audio-user] intel core 2 duo and amd turion 64x2

[ljc at internet.com.uy]

hello list,

i intend to buy a new laptop, and i'm undecided between two models of  
hp: dv6255us and dv6275us.

both are very similar, but the 6275 has two pros: bigger L2 cache and  
128Mb of dedicated video ram. but it has a intel core 2 duo, and my  
initial intention was buying an amd turion 64x2.

any ideas how the core 2 duo compares to the turion 64x2? any  
experiences using these laptops with linux? the 6275 seems to be a bit  
better, but as i said, i was intending to go for the amd. should i go  
back to intel after all these years?

here are the details of both models:

thanks for any comments that would help me make up my mind, i'd like  
to decide this matter soon and i really don't know what to do.

best,

lj
