Thread Starter 
I am undecided between these two notebooks. I believe the Intel processor would be faster than the AMD, but the AMD model has the faster video. I plan on using this for gaming as well as htpc to a certain degree. Not as far as using it as a dvr, but to stream br movies to my big screen using the hdmi out.

One is : MSI GX700-226UK NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo T8100(2.10GHz) 17.0" Wide SXGA+ (1650X1050) 3GB Memory 250GB HDD DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT (512meg memory) for $699

The other is : MSI GX630(9S7-165212-028) NoteBook AMD Athlon X2 QL-62(2.00GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA (1280X800) 4GB Memory 250GB HDD DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT for $799

You can click the links to see the full specs. These both look like very good deals to me.

All opinions appreciated.

They do not have the AMD chip. But it is a desktop processor shoved into a notebook and that has never been a good thing for heat or battery life.
