Hi Jim, i just bought the HP dv9000t with the Intel Core 2 Duo back in October. And so far i have no problems using Linux. Mine has the Intel 3945 Wireless card which works good as well. I am running Xen on a x86 64bit kernel with windows and it runs great. I have not tried the AMD version but the Intel works great for me.

I've been looking at a couple of HP notebook computers on the HP site after severe customization on my part. All else being equal, the AMD version has the top CPU, the TL-60, while the Intel version has the T7200. The Intel version has the advantage in L2 cache; 4MB vs. 1MB. Also, it is a Core 2 Duo vs. a dual-core CPU. Both have approximately the same HD capacity, and both are SATA, but the Intel version runs at 7,200 rpm where the AMD version runs at 5,400 rpm. [Perhaps I've answered my own question at this point?] Both have 2GB of memory and 17" screens. No doubt the wireless card in either will turn out to be incompatible with Linux, but that's the story of my life. The Intel version costs about $300 more, which is not a deal breaker. Thanks for any advice. BTW, I'll be dual-booting XP and Linux, but Linux is the primary concern.
