Thanks,

Intel is newer technology that performs better and faster.

Ok then, I have customized a new Dell system with an Intel CPU and am pretty sure this is the one I'll order (unless any minor adjustments are needed?).

GRAPHICS CARD - Intel® Media Accelerator 950 Graphics Up to 256MB shared graphics memory

Thanks for the quick replies SRTDodge05

Yeah, well I noticed your post in the 'New Laptop' thread you said that the HDD is the second most important factor regarding speed, after the CPU, so I upgraded it from 5400 rpm

Be one killer laptop once you get it. Check http://techbargains.com/ to see if they have any coupon codes on dell's.
