Which one is better in general and in terms of gaming ... I KNOW THEY ARE BOTH BAD FOR GAMING but my friend and I are having a "discussion" about it and I was wondering if any one knew .... If I was to buy one which one would it be?? Thanks a bunch guys!! I'm mainly asking about the GPU as I am pretty sure the i5 would kill the APU ...
 
well the intel cpu is head and shoulders better then the e300~ that said the e300's onboard graphics is head and shoulder better then the intel's.

my gut says the intel would be the slightly better gaming machine, since the cpu is such weaksause on the AMD... though the amd should have a bit better battery life, and in games that lean more on the gpu will likely be the better system.
 
I've got an E-350 'Bobcat' with an SSD boot drive & 8GBs of RAMs.

It's a snappy little go-getter, but at best gaming is limited to DX9 (older games) at 720P.

I can't help you with the Intel '520m' -- but being pre- Sandy/Ivy I would not expect a great deal of graphics power.
