I recently bought 2 new laptops, 1 with the amd p320 with the ati hd 4250, and other with the i3-330m with intel gma hd. The hd 4250 and the new intel gma hd are very similar in performance, both integrated graphics, (the new intel gma hd is considerably better than the old gma 4500mhd) the intel i3-330 is faster than the amd p320 but in real world use I don't really see much of a difference so either should work well for you...the amd, ati laptop I got was alot cheaper than the intel one.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
