    True, AMDs don't get heated much these days. But intel processors have regained their advantage with superior L2 cache with their latest mobile processors.

    i have heard AMD's are much much better in terms of performance. but it has heating issues and dont hold good in the long run. true ?
    bro AMD's heating issues are history !!

    i have been using a AMD turion64 x2 on my lappy for the past 3 and half years.
    and all i had so far is surprisingly great performance compared to the best intel can offer in the even the latest of its laptops.

    Its amazing what it can do with just 512 mb of ram. i'm saying it loads and makes playing games of the level of NFS undercover look easy. !!

    cheers

    Get a Corsair VX450. Priced at 4500/- it's among the most coveted PSUs on earth.

Its got a bad efficiency, heats up like hell and has blown up a lot of systems. Check online or techenclave.com for more details.
