    Hi! I am now confused on making a choice between X31 and R51. X31 is Cent 1.5Ghz-1Mb L2 and R51 is Cent 1.6Ghz-2Mb L2. Both are 256Mb DDR333 and 40Gb 4200rpm.

    I wonder if there will be a significant performance drop on X31 compared to R51. By the way, I will use the laptop for school. Apps will be like jBuilder, etc. Is those two powerful enough?

    Thank You.
