So my parents are giving me a thousand dollars to purchase a new laptop and Ive been checking out some Hp laptops because they seem to have the best deals. I had one question though I will be using my laptop for a lot of gaming nothing to intense maybe some world of warcraft or diablo 3 whenever it ends up coming out. I found two laptops around a thousand dollars with pretty much identical specs but different processors so I was wondering which processor is actually better the:


Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor P7450 (2.13GHz)

or

AMD Turion(TM) X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processor ZM-84 (2.3GHz)

there priced the same at hp.com but the turion processor has greater ghz is it better then the intel processor?? Thanks for any replies.

The CPU doesn't mean squat if you don't have decent graphics & enough RAM.

The GeForce 9650M GT used in the above ranks 41 out of 193 tested. I doubt you'll find many notebooks with better graphics for under $1000.
