Buying Toshiba Laptop - Intel Duo or AMD x2

It will be used for the usual stuff plus some casual gaming. As i am clueless about processors which will be quicker the AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 Processor
(1.9GHz, 1600 MHz FSB, 1 MB Cache) or the Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 1.5 GHz 667 MHz Processor cache 2 MB.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I would personally choose the core2duo, much better processor than the amd offerings, they consume less power as well so are better for battery life.

Hi SuperOxford

Neither willbe particularly strong for gaming and PC World / Comet are generally never the best value for money.

This might also be worth a look, it has a faster cpu and a more powerfull graphic card:

Thanks for your reply.

The gaming that will be done will be only occasional so the Toshiba's should be for that i hope! THe games played wont be the latest ones either. The newest game I have is the original call of duty!
