i would like buy new notebook, and don't know which cpu.
my question is.... is it big difference in performance between:

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5470 (1.6GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7100 (1.8GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB) [add $130]
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7300 (2.0GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB) [add $210]

because difference in price is pretty big. (for me)

thank you very much for any help.
 
what are you going to be doing with the notebook? if its mostly surfing, email and document type work the 1.6 would probably serve you just fine.
 
i dunno if the caps were purpose lol but keep em to a minimum,

as for gaming on laptops, i have a macbook pro that i plan to put xp on via boot camp and i have a t7500 @ 2.2ghz 2gb dr667 and an 8600gt mobile 128mb

i'd also like to kno if my laptop meets the requirements for some good gaming (talking dx10 wise with the 8600)
 
If your gonna play some reciently released games, then you will need a nice video card more than I think you will need a heafty processor. Also, RAM will be a big feature needed. I am thinking that if $200 bucks is gonna break your bank, you had better keep this to an office use laptop.

The macbook one sounds good to me. I am using a 720 or 730 processor in mine with a Go6800 and I can still pull off Sup Com with all the settings to low.
