Which laptop is better? an Intel Core 2 Duo processor T5300(1 73 GHz) OR a AMD Turion 64 x 2 Mobile Technology

TL-56 and 512 KD+512KD L2 Cache (1.8 Ghz) Im going to use it for college but i want to know which of these two is better in general. Turion or Intel Core?

Answers:
That particular Core 2 Duo is better than that particular Turion. It's not always the case that Core 2 Duo is always better than Turion (though if they are close or equal in GHZ the Core 2 Duo will be better).
core 2 duo is better.
the T5300 is better BUT the AMD laptop will most likely cost a few hundred dollars less... And the T5300 isn't really worth the extra few hundred dollars
The computer with Intel is better than the computer with AMD.
Both processors will be sufficent for college/university. but if you want to buy the best and latest, then core 2 duo is better because it is based on a better newer architecture, it should be cooler and consume less energy. As the average user, you will not notice any difference, it is up to you and your budget.
