My old Toshiba with the POS celeron and 512K is getting too slow, and the damn fan runs almost all the time.

The AMD kicks the crap out of Intel's supposed 'Duo' Dual-core easily. Less heat, better battery life, and more processes per cycle. The Intel tries to cram both cores processing through its FSB/Northbridge bottleneck, whereas the AMD uses the better system of integrated on-chip memory management. There is a reason Intel is losing market share, it has to do with thrown together answers to AMD innovation.
