    I am on a budget, so I am considering the processor M715 1.5Ghz. I want to save the money for extra RAM 512Mb, XP Professional etc.

    How does M715 compare with 725/1.6 or 745/1.8?

    Appreciate your advice. Thanks.

    Depends on your use/needs. 1.5 and 1.6 Is not a big jump in performance.

    Why get XP Pro?

    thanks for the reply. just was not sure if 1.5 M715 would be slow or fast.

    I use database software sql svr, oracle etc. So the XP Pro.
