Ok guys,

Im planning to buy a DELL XPS M1530 Lappy (with sum more additions (customisations) to it) and Im ready to shell out 75K-80K for the Dell laptop.

As i wanna use it for College Work and Lots of Play like say Crysis (if this is the benchmark to test a lappy's graphics as well as performance)

so please help me in this..

The M1530 XPS comes with:
1.) Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T5550
and Im plannig to replace it with this:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T9500 2.6 Ghz, 6MB cache, 800 Mhz FSB
Which will set me back by Rs.19K

(here i wanna ask tat is there much of a difference b/w T8100, 8300, 9300 and T9500 C2D processors, i mean do we really be able to see a boost in performance by getting a higher PRocessor? as compared to speed and the FSB ??)
---------------------------------------------------------

2.) M1530 Cones with:
Display: 15.4" Widescreen WXGA (1280x800) TFT Display with TrueLife
and Im planning to replace it with this:
Display:15.4" Ultrasharp Widescreen WSXGA+ (1680x1050) TFT Display with TrueLife
so shud i go for a highest resolution ?? as in this above!!

(here i wanan ask tat many of u guys said tat 1440x900 is a better resolution, so wat abt the above one ?)
-----------------------------------------------------

3.) I will be going with (for sure):
RAM: 4GB (2x2048MB) Dual-channel 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Video: 256 MB nVIDIA Ge Force 8600M GT
----------------------------------------------------

4.) I currently have a MTNL Triband Broadband connection on my PC, so do tell me if the above lappy needs to hv sumthing extra (in hardware, if any) so that I can use my Internet on my laptop as well..
(on my PC i use the Triband connection with help of a USB connecting router with the PC, i hope everyone knws this with Triband)
----------------------------------------------------

So. replies awaited, as i hv no idea abt laptops, and this is my first time XP.. :)

Cheers n e-peace....
