What is the best processor AMD TURION™64 X2 or AMD® Athlon™ 64 X2?

the only main difference is turion is built to extend the battery life. athlon is very power hungry and runs hot. but turion is more $$. basically do you want 1.5 hrs or 4.5 hrs. of battery before recharge. on a final note stay away from basic vista. spend the extra $30 or you'll regret it. good luck
