    Hi, I am an engineering student studying in Pakistan.

    I am in search of a HP laptop and narrowed it down to two options,
    dv6670ee & dv6650z

    which one is better?
    will an AMD processor run win XP (if win vista is already installed)?

    can you help me in this regard and make my life a bit easier :)

    Hi

    The AMD will run XP fine - its the Turion 64 x2 58?

    I would say go for the Intel Core 2 Duo - I have a dv9565 AMD Turion 64 x2 TL-60 and it gets very hot and noisy (on my laptop anyway)

    The Intel core 2 duo is faster then the Turion - you wouldn't notice the speed difference in every day life, probably only a matter of milliseconds difference, but the lower heat and noise of the intel has to be worth the extra cost.

    hope that helps!

    I'm pretty sure your notebook is broken dv9565_AMD.

    You'll get a little better battery life from the Intel notebook but you'll pay more money. It looks like the dv6670ee has a dedicated GeForce 8400GS GPU and the dv6650z has an integrated GeForce 7150M, so if you're going to do any gaming you'll want the 8400GS.

    Yes, the AMD CPU will run WinXP, Vista, Linux, etc, both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. AMD designed the x86-64 standard that Intel was eventually forced to copy. It sounds like you want to run 32-bit WinXP for now.

    I always buy AMD, FWIW.
