As far as I chkd, the majority opinion is to go for the Intel C2D due to better performance, power saving etc. But I have also heard different opnions on the processor selection when it comes to gaming. Is it true that the dual processor on AMD is better for gaming compared to Intel C2D? Also that most applications that are used will not make full use of the complete capabilities of the Intel C2D?? I want to use my laptop mainly for internet, spreadsheets, GAMING!! (NFS-Carbon etc), music, movies, Photoshop.
Thanks..

IMO the C2D.
I got both.
But I recommend you take a look at Tom's Hardware.

The truth is, that neither processor is being fully utilized by most software these days. The C2D does out perform the 64X2 in battery life. All other tests are basically pretty even.
For you, and your intended purpose, it is more important to select the right video card for your laptop. The card will probably then determine what CPU you get.
Since the AMD/ATI merger, if you are looking at an ATI video card, you will probably be looking at an AMD CPU. If you are looking at the Go series of Invida cards, then you are probably going to go with an Intel CPU.
(Yes, you can get Intel CPU's with ATI card, and Invida/AMD combos, but most highend systems will go AMD/ATI and Intetl/Invida)
You will want to spend as much as you can on the video, then the processor, them RAM.
