Howdy!

My old HP zd7000 series laptop running Gentoo died today, so I'm thinking about getting a new dv9000 series. Does anyone have any opinions about if I should get:
  • The Intel Core 2 T7300 or the AMD Turion TL-64
  • The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 or the GeForce 8400M GS (If I get the AMD processor, then my only choice is the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150)

Thanks for any thoughts.

Tad

Intel Core 2 T7300 (Santa Rosa platform) + nvidia. Beyond all questions!

Depends on what you want to do with it.
For processor, there is not much of discussion. intel core2duo! they use less power and are faster.

GPU: for some basic stuff, the X3100 should be sufficient, but if you want to go a little further (h264 encoded video, playing some games) take the G84 chip, it worth the power it consumes. (And that coming from someone who has a QuadroFX 570M...)

You might need some testing packages to get this system up and running...

cheers
