<p>I hear so much stuff about Intel v. AMD when it comes to the CPU stuff...</p>
<p>Well, I'm buying a computer soon (most likely a notebook), and.... well, all I know is that Intel's pentium M is the processor to have for notebooks right now, i think.</p>
<p>Anyway, what are the good cpus these days? please keep in mind that i am a computer dummy. thanks!</p>
<p>Go for the Pentium M with a enough storage space and these days, I believe 512MB ram is the standard. I'm pretty much a "computer dummy" to but I heard Dell offers great notebooks. But I'm pretty sure some people would tell you that other brands are better.</p>
<p>there isnt much of a difference between amd and intel in mid to low range stuff. plus, you wont have many options when getting a notebook anyways. The stuff you hear about is always the high end stuff that video editors, photographers, and gamers want because they need the speed.</p>
<p>macbook if you can afford it ;)</p>
<p>Generally AMD pwns Intel with ease in things like gaming, etc (It's the only important thing anyways right? ;)). However, AMD is generally left in the dust when it comes to multitasking, due to Intel's Hyperthreading technology on its dual core processors.</p>
<p>go AMD. gg.</p>
<p>theleetinator, they've released the X2 chips already. It's expensive.</p>
<p>Honestly speaking, just get a fair decently priced laptop. You're not kidding anyone if you want to appear you can play games with your laptop. If games are important, then get a desktop. But honestly, more isn't exactly better for laptops since the curve for performance for dollar drastically rises for smaller technolegical devices such as laptops.</p>
