Intel VS AMD !

[Kev]

Yes, cooling is not so much of a problem for the AMD's these days, even if you have an older one its easily solved by getting a dual fan PSU. Like others have said they come with a fan anyway. but a dual fan PSU really helps keep the inside of your pc cool.

The AMD X2 Dual core 4400 out performs Intel's best dual core in this review done by cnet. That there says it all, AMD is killing Intel.

I recently(2 weeks) bought an AMD laptop. I think its great. It offers everything one needs at a cheaper price.
As for the heating problem....my laptop is on abt 18hrs a day:P and sometimes it gets a little hot from the bottom but it cools in half an hour, so i guess its not much of a problem.

Thats normal for a Laptop, its not even a thing to worry about. Laptops employ Passive cooling solutions.

AMD without a doubt

The top of the range AMD processor is AMD Athlon 64 FX60, 2.6GHz Dual Core. That cost 2 grand down in NZ alone though so unless you Indians get stuff cheap (which wouldn't surpise me ) then that would be out of your budget.
I would try for a dual core as they are the way of the future and you can run 2 programs at once like dvd ripping while playing Fear.

The AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4400+ 2.2GHz Socket 939 is quite cheap, the top of the range for the X2 series is the Dual-Core 4800+ which is a bit more expensive.
