Welcome to the PC Guide Forums!!!

The core 2 duo's are newer processors form intel. Amd turion are older mobile x2 cpus. Both of them are dual core which means you have two processors in your system in one. Put it this way, you really wont notice much of a difference unless you benchmark your system. Even though, i'd go with the core 2 duo in my opinion.

Spearball is right
Intel is way ahead of AMD at the current time
it all depends on price, and what you want to do.
Say if its 50 bucks less for the Turion system, go with that.
But if you plan to do photo editing or something in that league
get the Intel.
