text: which can i choose for my laptop amd *2/ intel core 2 duo? dear sir/mam,         i m here planed to buy an laptop which procrssor i have to relay upon eaither amd duo core /intel duo core.....i prefer amd but somebody telling that it produces heat so it is not the best option please claryfy my doughts.                                  thank you. most of the people on this board are preteens and teens that have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to microprocessors.  the best processor available now is intel's core 2 duo...period. this may change in time, however, as it stands right now, the core 2 duo is best. anyone telling you otherwise is just an uniformed teeny bopper.  people telling you that amd processors run hot are beyond clueless. that used to be the case years ago, way before the athon 64. until just recently (until core duo) amd processors ran much cooler than intel processors, as excess heat was one of the reasons the pentium line was scrapped. now, in terms of heat generation, they're close to the same, with a slight edge going to amd.  if you really want an amd turion system for your laptop, by all means get one, as they're not bad...just not quite as good at this time as intel's offering. this may not remain the case though in the second half of 2007, when amd updates its line.
