As someone mentioned, a guy a BB recommended an AMD processor over Intel... And I agree! I only wish my toshiba had come with an AMD. They're a harder working processor, they multi-task better than a P4 with HT technology, and they run graphics better. They also have a 64 bit processor, Intel doesn't even have one yet. When I build my desktop I'm going to find the best AMD on the market and that's the processor I'm putting in.

to give you an idea, up until recently AMD didn't have much of a commerical name. They were almost strictly a gaming and graphics processor. Also, because they don't have all the advertising, you'll pay anywhere between $200-$400 less for a computer with an AMD than one with the SAME specs with a P4.
