Which laptop processor?

Hello,
my laptop at the moment is a HP zd8000 3.2ghz and intel pentium 4. I am wanting to buy a new laptop and I don't understand the processors that are available will a core duo be as fast as my old one?
Many thanks
I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something

    A Core 2 Duo will be faster, use less power and run cooler.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Core 2 Duo's are probably the best processors you could buy to date. Please be aware that there is also a core duo and dual core processors. Both are cheaper alternatives but if you can, try going for a core 2 duo.
