I went with the situation as you, only difference is mine's Dell

I picked AMD because my homie said it's for gamers.

but I heard Core 2 Duo offer better performance? ya

i would buy the AMD

One that doesn't have Vista.

Send me one and I will test it.

LOL I am planning to get vista for both lol, so the OS is not a problem here lol

I just compared both laptops' video cards.

I'd still pick the AMD, but it's still up to you.

EDIT: Mobile Intel vs. ATI, a lol situation

what about the processors?

Is the Core 2 Duo a better processor or the AMD?

price?
Although I use Intel, The amdX2 process I used before is still very fast. The ones you posted, I would go with amd because of higher ghz.
edit: also
"Graphics Controller:Mobile Intel® GMA X3100 with up to 358MB of shared video"
I used a laptop with Intel graphics before. It is possibly the worst graphics ever. Sro killed my laptop 3 times.

And how is this releated to SRO?

Well if you're planning to play SRO and BF2 you might as well get celeron 2ghz Well Core 2 Duo is slightly better (i repeat slightly) But i don;t think you'll feel that. And the CPU is not the most important for a gaming pc.
Oh btw, WTH dude? Don't do that! Vista is horrible. It will eat your pc resourses and do nothing good! Just get xp

EDIT: Go for the amd one. That one with intel has got pretty sucky graphics card

because i am gonna play sro with it? LOL

don't mess up my thread I just need some suggestions from our friendly community

amd for gaming...

core 2 duo is better... just not better for gaming :/

AMD heats up real easily. Price wise, they aren't the same, are they?

I liked the way you stated the billions of bytes. Lol!

Pay a little more and get a notebook with Ati Radeon 2600 HD or nVidia 8600 GT (Recommended) !

Cuz with the resolution of 1440x900 2400 HD and lol X3100 ! They suck at this resolution !
