The only difference between the two is the processor that they use and the company that makes them AMD(anthlon) and Intel(pentium). Although the brand shouldn't make much of a difference when shopping for computers you should pay close attention to the hertz/gigahertz (processing speed) that the processors have which will determine the overall speed and capability of the computer. Expect computers to have any where from 1.00(painfully slow) to 5.00+ gigahertz(super computer) of processing power and for the price to go up accordingly.
