I'm trying to decide between these two laptops but I have no clue which processor is better the Acer has a AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core TK-42 Processor (1.60ghz) and the Compaq has a AMD Athlon™ II Dual-Core Processor M320, 2.10GHz. I wont be using this for gaming but for watching dvds, downloading, buring, and mostly internet. http://www.staples.com/Acer-Aspire-AS5517-1127-Laptop/product-nr_850504#revs_content http://www.staples.com/Compaq-Presario-CQ61-420US-Laptop/product-nr_848834#revs_content
