Im thinking in buying a new laptop, my budget is 800$ max
im currently looking in a laptop that can run 2004-2005 era games (no hardcore games) plus some work.

i got 2 options left available for me:
The Toshiba Satellite : A200 : A215-S5837
Link: http://explore.toshiba.com/laptops/s...200/A215-S5837
Specs:
CPU:AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile @ 2.0Ghz
RAM: 2GB
VGA:ATI Radeon X1200 (memory Shared)
HDD:160gb




and the Toshiba Satellite : A200: SL300-110
specs:Cpu: core duo 1.83 Ghz
RAM: 2GB
VGA:Intel IGP x3100 (Mem shared)
HDD:160gb


based on reviews iv seen elsewhere both arent that good but they are enough for a low budget user (like me)
i dont know much about the video card performance of both laptops, I need help in that case.

Personally i was going for the first option i listed here but im still confused about some specs (like the vid card)

Go Intel. AMD mobile processors aren't really that good, not that they're bad or anything but even with slightly higher clock it won't outperform the Intel machine. The intel probably won't win by a wide margin, but, depending on the price difference, of course, I'd go with the intel lappy.

the Intel processor being a core duo makes it equal in with the turion i guess, if it was a core 2 duo processor ill definitely go with the 2nd option i listed.
