Dont waste your money on Alienware... you're paying for the name.

A Centrino is fine. Depends which one though. A centrino processor multiplied by 1.4 will give you the approximate clock speed of the comparable P4 processor.

I have a 2.0 ghz Dothan processor, which is roughly the same as a 2.8 ghz P4 processor, and it can run anything I ask it to fantasticly

Inventor and other similar programs dont rely on your processor's clock speed as much as they rely on RAM and your graphics card. If you had to choose between a faster processor, or more RAM, I'd go for the RAM.
