How is the new processor, is the 1mb cache all its cracked up to be does it effect gaming or battery life on a laptop? overall how good is it?

[Duffman]

it seems from my "power skimming" it doesn't effect gaming or anything

i doubt its that fast, but would be alot quicker then a 1.3ghz p4, becuase of its higher cache and other technolagies

[mooseman2070]

which speed would be more practical? i was goping to go for the 1.5 but should i go for 1.6 or 1.7?

why as much as money can buy of course... (i would max out at whatever your parental units will allow) but 1.6 will be plenty for some time...

well i knew that.....well thats the answer to the question but its not what i was looking for. im going to stick to 1.4-1.6 the most i may get will be 1.5.

now 1.5GHz doesnt really tell how much power it has. does anyone know what 1.4,1.5.16 equal out to? im going to search google but if anyone knows please post
