What is the difference? Which would be better, faster? I ordered the Dell Intel i5. It was from HSN on the daily special for $599.00 with free shipping. Free lifetime (of the computer) of North American support, tons of software that I can choose to install or not. I mistakenly thought it was quad core.

I could get this one, smaller, half the Ram, less money, but AMD quad core.
