    I have a 3 year old asus notebook with an Intel 1.8ghz core 2 duo processor with 2mb cache and a 800mhz bus. I was thinking about replacing it as the chasis is badly cracked. In terms of AMD's offering would m320 be faster than what i have now?

    Definitely. The M320 performs roughly equal to C2D's with the same clock speed as it.
