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

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: http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_techspecs_full.php/masterid=32673075 http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_techspecs_full.php/masterid=32665203 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
