Laptop CPU's ?

[BEN_UK]

Hello,

I am going to be buying my first laptop in the next week or so and am alittle lost on which CPU to go for.

I was set on this one, AMD Turion 64 mobile technology MK-36 / 2 GHz 512Mb cache

But now i have seen theses 2, Intel Celeron M Processor 430 1.73GHz and Intel Pentium Dual-Core T2060 1.6GHz

Anyone give any info on how they compare ?

Laptop is going to be running vista.

Any links for CPU review sites would be good.

Thanks ben

I am on a small budget, £400-450 so i think the AMD Turion 64 will be the route.

Just gonna be for internet and maybe if it works counter strike source.
