That must be the Mobile P4 with HT. These chips eat power and create lots of heat. (and noise due to fans) I wouldn't consider it without asbestos jeans and always having a power outlet nearby.
Otherwise the Core Duo will be faster for normal use or multi-threaded apps. The Turion will be faster for some single-threaded apps.
ML series Turion eats 35W. The Core Duo T2300 31W. If you were looking at the ~26W MT-37 you might argue for the AMD based on heat and battery life.
With this set Core Duo is the way to go.
