They are alike price at my local retailer. So everything is the same except the processor (1 GB memory, 320 GB rugged drive, etc.).



In terms of use, I don't do much graphical gaming but I do multi responsibility a lot (although beside simple applications, eg / Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Firefox, etc. all approachable at once). Need to decide ASAP so gratitude for your thoughts!

No matter what the intended usage . both are excellent performer.



As a personal choice, I would take the AMD 64 X2 5000+ over that Intel section in a heartbeat. no qualm whatsoever.

If you're not a gamer afterwards Intel Core 2 Duo most def.



If you are a gamer, the AMD. AMD Architecture works much better for gaming.
AMD 64 X2 5000+ for sure

AMD 64 X2 5000+ Thats what I would pick!
I have the 5200+ copy and I love it. very hurried and sorry with Intel they may hold great processors but your paying more for the name than the actual product. most gaming systems associates put together uses AMD over Intel. one its faster for gaming and 2 less compatibility issues.
