Graphics drivers and cards are really iffy. nVidia drivers, although they have less bloat than the AMD/ATI ones I used to have when I was using my old Macbook Pro with a ATI card, I had some problems with the crashing, although I realized it was a power issue and I needed to reinsert the battery.
I'm still thinking that the i5 are a good choice in the long run over AMD in the future, once they improve the drivers. Also, Turbo mode is just basically automatic overclocking, but without the extra heat and power usage... I still wonder how much faster theses i5/i7 can go if one were to overclock one manually, but so far I have over clocked my Intel Core2 Duo on my laptop with nVidia System Tools and pretty much boost performance with a little more heat (would be safer if you used a laptop cooler).
