Hello, I want to purchase the Inspiron 1501 from dell.com but am having trouble deciding which processor I should get. I know a little bit about Intel processors but not much about AMD processors.
So AMD Turion or AMD Ahtlon? Also what's the comparison with the AMD Turion to the Intel's and the Amd Athlon's to the Intels...?

For the Inspiron I would go with a Turion 64... more importantly make sure you get a good amount of RAM, at least 1 GB, that will affect performance just as much or more so than the processor. And as for the comparison to Intel... I don't know what the difference is scientifically but I have personally noticed AMD processors outperform Intel, so an AMD with 2.4 gHz is just as good as an Intel with 3.0... but that's just personal preference after experience with both brands of processors.

AMD Athlon64 is mainly for desktops. AMD Turion is for laptops. Turion X2 would be slightly better than Intel's mobile Core Duo (32bit only Yonah2). BUT Intel's mobile Core2 Duo (Conroe) is best. Take note that Core Duo and Core2 Duo are very different.

Turion is more a mobile processor and athlon is more a desktop processor....I would get the athlon as thats whats in my desktop its the 4200+. I like it. But laptops are different.
Actually go with the turion as long as its is a fast speed, as it is optimized to save power for notebooks and be a better perfomer.

You should get it with AMD Athlon.
