Intel or AMD?

[Stever89]

I was trying to look up my laptops Intel Core 2 Duo T5550, but couldn't seem to find it. Not sure why.

I don't really keep up with this stuff anymore, though I use to subscribe to a bunch of PC mags. I've heard that AMD's are usually cheaper, and so if you don't need it for heavy games, then it's the way to go. But that might have change in the past few years that I've been out of the loop. I recall AMD cards usually being better (especially considering the price, more bang for your buck), but, again, that might have change. So basically, ignore everything you just read (and no, I will not refund you your 10 seconds).

I know the day I plan on building my on computer (2 more years and out of college) I'm going to get a lot of help from people on this site. lol
