Although all three are certainly fast enough, I'd aim for the T9300 'cause of its 6MB shared cache. The T9500 is not yet available here, but if it was, I'm certain most of us couldn't afford it...

I was just about ready to pull the trigger on one from dell and it is the
t9500 isn't this it? or no?

XPS M1330 Qty 1
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T9500 (2.6GHz/800Mhz FSB/6MB cache), Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition

There was a recent review of a T8100 equipped Toshiba which was praised for it's gaming performance by Laptopmag.com. I think all of these processors will provide good performance.

Oh yeah, that's the cream of the crop and if the price is right, get out that credit card

A 'review' of this vendor would be great. I'm inclined to 'pull the trigger' on a T9500, currently doing my research....

No, I have not purchased from this fellow, but I think Duffy has. He accepts PayPal. I backed off after I verified that all these are engineering samples. Good price for a T9500 though. I think someone was selling a NIB (retail) variant of the T9300 in B/S/T for $300 and some change.

My M1330 runs a lot hotter than I like so I would have loved to have moved to .45nm and the extra performance boost doesn't hurt either. Oh well, I guess I will wait for Montevina.

I purchased mine here:

It arrived next day and i installed it into my Sony Vaio AR570. Works great and definetly runs cooler. No bios update needed either... swap-n-play.

the cpu doesnt wine, its the cooling fan on it that whines


as for the penryn chips they will be available everywhere for retail at the end of the month. Im gonna drop a 2.5ghz in my m1530 when it releases. It is something like $350. I was gonna wait to order my m1530 when it came out but the only difference is the processor. So it is actually cheaper to sell my current processor and buy this.
