need help deciding

I'm replacing my SEVEN year old HP laptop that has been a loyal champ. I am looking at the Toshiba Satellite P205D-S7454 and the HP DV9650us. My need is home/office. Both are comparable with the main difference (aside from the "entertainment" components on the HP) being the 1.9 GHz AMD Turion on the Toshiba and 1.5 GHz Intel Centrino on the HP. The HDD on the HP is a little more generous and I also like the "feel" of the HP better. Is the microprocessor speed going to be noticibly better on the Toshiba? Any other thoughts? THX!

what is your budget?

What is your main use of the laptop? will you use it for gaming?
