Well maybe this doesn't really belong in this forum but whatever.
I want to get a new laptop and don't know the first thing about processors. I'm looking at a Dell Inspiron or XPS with at least 3000MB RAM and at least a 120GB hard drive. My choices in processors are Intel Pentium Dual Core - 2000, Intel Pentium Dual Core - 1860, Intel Core 2 Duo - 2000, AMD Turion 64 Dual Core - 2000, AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core - 1900, among a few others. I don't do much on my laptop, just normal things like music and pictures and Internet. And I may want to install a PC game or two. I just want my new laptop to be fast and obsolescence-proof (at least for a few years).
Are any of these significantly better than others, or are they all pretty comparable? Thanks!

That's what she said.
