Is it a double processor or a double core?

If it's a double core, I would go for the intel, else I would go for the AMD.

And like said before you can't add up te Ghz'ses. it will be a double processor 3.2 Ghz processor, but that doesn't mean it will double the Ghz'ses, the fact that you think this, is because of the misconception that more ghz'ses means faster, but this is not true.

With a double(core/processor) the computer can run 2 threads at the same time, this can mean (in the simpest form) two applications or 2 processes of the same application at the same time.

A processor can only do 1 thing at a time, but processors use process scheduling to switch between processes/threads, this happends so fast that you won't notice, but with double core/processor, this means it can do it really simultaniously, causing the increase in speed.

But I wouldn't go for a double processor, because that will be harder to switch upgrade processors later and stuff.

So to make a long story short. If it's a dual core i'd go for the intel else i'd go for the amd.

Btw, on normal 32-bit windows, afaik you can't run 64-bits applications. You'd need 64-bits windows/linux whatever.
