The 2020 sounds like a better deal. The AMD is a better processor in general, though the Intels have a better rep for speed at encoding. *HOWEVER* in order to take full advantage of the AMD, you'd need to run 64-bit Linux. Although a 64-bit version of XP exists, it's hard to get, and there are very few Windows applications that will make use of 64-bit hardware.

The AMD is still better with 32-bit Windows though.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

I agree. AMD Turion? 64 X2 is far better than the Intel and less power consuption, less heat too.
