    Just wondering which of these would be a better choice...I'm looking into one for both myself and a friend, as they're pretty cheap (basic stuff)...

    The thing is, I know I should get the one with a C2D as they are both higher quality than inspirons and the C2d is more powerful...but for the same price/clock speed (and with the AMD at 1.8 instead of 1.6) they're the same price...except the AMD has a default 3 year warranty instead of the Intel's 1 year (3 years is an extra $119).

    But then again, If I buy it with say, a Visa or Mastercard, thers an extra year on it...meh. Suggestions? I'll probably tell my friend to get the AMD due to the warranty, but I'm not sure.
