dual layer dvd's can hold twice as much as regular dvds, so instead of the 4.7gb, they can hold like 9.4

as for amd or intel, your gonna get pple going for both, personally i like intel, but there are a lot of AMD hardcore people in this forum, just read benchmarks about both and decide whats best.
