Looking at two Acer laptops with either:

System 1:
NVidia GeForce GT240M 1024MB DDR3 on an Intel Core2Duo T6600 2x2,2GHz / 4096 MB DDR3 RAM

or

System 2:
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 512MB DDR2 on an Intel Core2Duo P7350 2x2,0GHz / 4096 MB DDR3 RAM


You can see the two systems much better side-by-side here.
My understanding is that the nVidia card is the better of the two, but the processor in the second system is better.

Which system would you guys recommend? System 2 costs 100 Euros more.

Are you sure about that?
 
I just checked this CPU ranking website and according to them, the Core2 Duo T6600 performed better than the Core2 Duo P7350.

T6600:
Passmark CPU mark (higher is better): 1516
Rank (lower is better): 171

P7350:
Passmark CPU mark (higher is better): 1367
Rank (lower is better): 199

I wasn't sure before, since the P7350 has a better cache capacity (3MB vs. 2MB) and higher front side bus (1066MHz vs. 800MHz) than the T6600. But after checking that website, it appears that system 1 of my list is the better way to go - better video card and better processor.

Any other thoughts?
