    which combo is better

    Intel Centrino 2 Processor Technology featuring Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P7550 (2.26), Nvidia GeForce GT 130M with 1 GB dedictated graphics memory

    vs

    AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM-85 Dual-Core Mobile Processor(2.3), ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 with up to 1 GB dedicated memory

    so what is better for gaming? stronger cpu+weaker gpu or weaker cpu+stronger gpu?

    For most games like shooters a stronger gpu would be the way to go, but if you play strategy games a stronger cpu is generally better.
