AMD vs. Intel and ATI vs. nVidia mobile chips

[phoderpants]

Feel free to move this to the mobile forum if it must be there.

I need to know if there are any significant differences between the ATI 200M and nVidia Go 7400. Also, I'm deciding between the Core Duo T2400 and the AMD Turion 64 ML-37. Any advice guys? The only options are ATI + AMD or Intel + nVidia on the laptop I want to get.

Thanks dudes.

Intel Core Duo with an Nvidia 7800 or higher, done and done

I'm buying an HP. The graphics cards listed are the only ones that are offered aside from onboard chips.

I don't want a gaming laptop. I just want it to play movies, get on the internet, and use Word/OneNote/Excel.

What I want to know is if either of the chips have known problems.

I'd take the Go 7400/T2400. The Xpress 200M chipset is either HyperMemory only (shared memory) or HyperMemory + 64-bit local memory, plus it only has 2 pixel/shader pipelines (with 1 texture unit per pipeline) @ 300MHz. Low end HP Xpress 200M models have no local memory.

Clock speeds can vary by OEM, but the basic specs of the go 7400 are:
450MHz core speed
4 pixel/shader pipelines (with 1 texture unit per pipeline)
900MHz 64-bit memory
