    like after reading for a while I foudn put that the x9000 doesnt really ioncrease gaming performance since its usually the gpu that bottlenecks. besides the 2.5 ghtz is still uber powerful specially witht eh 6 mb of l2 cache XD. I also heard that when u overcl**** in a laptop the fans sound like a mini tornado LOL XD

    you made the right move. The t9300 is more than adequate, you will be limited by the gpus really, the penyrn is pretty much as fast as you can get for gaming anyway... with its cache
