    I have no idea what the diffrence is but im wondering if its worth $55 to upgrade Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7250 to Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7500.

    I would guess that the T7250 (a new number that I haven't heard of yet) is a T7300 with half the cache...so $55 for the T7500 might be worth it if you do some computationally intensive work.

    The T7250 is not really a worthwhile upgrade over the T7100. If you do alot of computationally intensive tasks, or play a lot of new RTS games, I'd go with the T7300 or the T7500. For normal things and FPS gaming, a T7100 or T7250 should be fine.

    Not needed for most uses but for $55 I would get the T7500. 10% more clocks and a 10% increase in cpu intensive apps because of 4MB L2. So a 20% improvement in peak performance. I like.

    That's a very cheap upgrade, I'd go for it most likely, especially if you want to run newer games and cpu intensive tasks. Even if you don't it'll last a tad longer.
