Laptops and upgrading

I am sure once we see both chipsets get revisions and solid software/firmware in place there will be much different results for both the Pentium M and Turion and I am sure they will both be good improvements.

For me Intel has not been my choice since the AMD K7 Chip's. The P4 was a dissapointment and the Athlon XP -M was my favorite chip. All athlons still hold true to great OCing and lower costs.

Intel has also closed this gap but I am not easily swayed with Intel. I will give both 3-4 months and then review them. By then the systems should be have had the time to address any issues.

ok...

the benchmarks showed from the test batch of Core 2 Duo that the E6600 and up beat out AMD best CPU, though 2 below it are right below the bets AMD core

So you can purchase a E6600 for under $350, which is pretty good
thats not really a need to purchase the EE Core 2 Duo right now
but AMD probably has something up there sleves
its a titter totter for CPU suprmency going one way then the other
but there both good

but one reason I like Intel over AMD is price...
I only owned 2 AMD before
an AMD k6-2 @ 299mhz and another AMD k6-2 @399mhz (lol, I know really old O_o)

Yes they both look goood but as I said chipset revisons will really make a difference so give it some time. Like I said in 3-4 months check back on both chips. I think the results will show improvements for both. Its going to be close for both but I just pref AMD *shrug* its goood though to have a pref. It means you havve worked with something long enough that your comfortable.
