What would you say is the quicker out of these two laptops

Acer Aspire AS3005WLCi AMD Mobile Sempron 3300+ 15.4" Wide XGA 512MB 80GB DVD/CD-RW Combo SiS Mirage 2 NoteBook - Retail


or a

Acer Aspire AS1691WLCi Pentium M 725(1.6GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA 512MB 80GB DVD/CD-RW Combo Intel GMA900 NoteBook - Retail


obviously the difference being the Pentium will have a 2mb Level 2 Cache and the Sempron only have a 128kb cache.

I'm probably going to go for the Pentium AS I HATE the slowness and disk churning of a Celeron, but I'm not familiar with a Sempron. I'm just guessing it'll be as crap as a Celeron? being the L2 cache is so small..

Both are exactly the same price
