I want to install Manjaro in a old Dell Inspiron 1525 with 4gb ram ddr2 and ssd sata, but since it uses an Intel® Core™2 Duo T5550 processor, I’m in doubt if I’ll get better performance using the main mesa drivers or the old mesa-amber branch with this processor.
Well, I googled your device and it looks like you have integrated Intel gma X3100 graphics(at least it was written so here: Dell Inspiron 1525 - Wikipedia ), which comes via the GM965 chipset and is supported by Mesa Amber through the legacy i965 driver as you can see here: Amber Branch — The Mesa 3D Graphics Library latest documentation
Theoretically I think that your hardware chould perform better using mesa-amber but please keep in mind that this is a legacy branch and is not actively maintained so there may be some limitations with modern desktop environment
