My current laptop is running Windows Vista, a 1.8 GHz AMD Turion 64×2 processor, 1982MB of RAM, DirectX 10, and the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150.

Btw, I am pretty computer illiterate haha. Now, Half-Life 2 runs fine at medium settings except for when there’s tons of smoke in the game. I recently bought Half-Life 2: Episode One but my computer has the hardest time running it, its practically unplayable with all the lag. I was wondering how much it would cost to upgrade my processor to the recommended 2.4GHz that the game recommends?

Does AMD processors still have heating issues?
Should i go for Intel Core 2 Duo processor with Nvidia which is costlier. Do i gain significantly by Intel + Nvidia Configuration?
I want it for work and gaming both

I currently have an Acer (Aspire 5633) laptop with the following specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo processor, T5500 @ 1.66Ghz, 667Mhz FSB with 2MB L2 cache;
2GB DDR2 RAM;
Intel integrated graphics.

I am thinking about buying an HP Pavilion (DV9820) laptop with the following specs:

AMD Turion 64×2 Dual Core processor @ 2Ghz, 1600Mhz FSB with 1MB L2 cache;
3GB DDR2 RAM;
NVidia GeForce 8400GM 256MB dedicated graphics.

I have never had a machine with an AMD processor before, but I do know that they typically don’t run as fast as the Intel Core 2 Duo.

What I really want to know is will I still see a significant improvement in performance if I buy the HP laptop, compared to my current laptop? I really want an HP, they look so stylish and have much better build-quality than other brands, but they tend to favour AMD processors. The only HP I’ve found with an Intel is well over my budget!

I don’t play games, I basically surf the internet and do some video and photo editing, but nothing too strenuous. I know the specs on my current laptop are still pretty decent – the main reason I’m getting a new one is because I want a 17-inch screen, as opposed to my current 15-inch screen, so I thought I might as well go for the best specs I can afford if I’m buying a new one.
