Alright, im currently searching for a new laptop! Very Happy

Ive already got my specs sorted just having some issues picking the CPU! Surprised

Heres what i have so far:

RAM: 4GB CORSAIR XMS2 800MHz
HDD: 320GB 16MB cache + 7200rpm
Graphics: 512MB GEFORCE 9600GT + HDMI + D-SUB

+ 9 cell battery (claims to give me up to 4 hours of batt life)

CPU wise, im stuck between:

Core 2 Duo P8600 (2 x 2.40 Ghz) 1066Mhz FSB/3MB L2 Cache £775
Core 2 Duo T9400 (2 x 2.54 Ghz) 1066Mhz FSB/6MB L2 Cache £836
Core 2 Duo P9500 (2 x 2.54 Ghz) 1066Mhz FSB/6MB L2 Cache £954

(the price given is the overal price of the laptop with just the CPU changed)

The P series is exactly the same as the T series but uses alot less energy (meaning longer battery lifes)

Price wise.. thats a HUGE jump from £775 to £954, what im asking is...

Performance wise... ovbiously i wont notice much difference betwen 2.40 Ghz and 2.54 Ghz,but how much difference will that 3MB jump in cache size make? Is it worth the price difference? Also.. exactly how much battery life will i get on average if i opted for the P9500 over the T9400? - Im planning to use this for both development and gaming.

Thanks Very Happy
