Quickly which ones better

[Captain Planet]

I would get the latter on the basis of the dual core.Would probably be a 2.37 Ghz.

Core 2 Duo oneI ain't even looked tbh

[Dubby]

They're both dual coreFirst one can support virtualization (so you can use XP mode in the new Windows 7)

[Mic Man]

Intel ftw tbh

[Guest Swiftie]

Intel ftw tbh

Purely on the basis that you can get a CELERON D which will be faster than both of those AMD's with a bit of ram pushin it.But if you was limited into the two laptops you posted then get the HP Compaq.
