E4300 vs. E6320...for a Laptop!

So...I'm getting ready to buy an Asus C90 laptop. The place where I'm ordering it from has two lower-level options:

1. Intel Core 2 Duo Conroe E4300 1.8 GHz 800FSB 2M: $125
2. Intel Core 2 Duo Conroe E6320 1.86 GHz 1066FSB 4M: $184

For one, I thought the E4300 was an Allendale? Am I wrong? Did they update the E4300?

Is the additional ~ $60 worth the added FSB and Cache? I have two primary tasks: 1. Running my little "hobbyist" home studio...and current processors do this just fine. 2. Playing Warcraft on occassion, which is more dependent on the GPU right?

Now, I will be hooking this laptop to my 24" LCD Monitor (1920x1080) on occasion but again, that's more dependent on the GPU...at least I'm assuming that.

I will not be doing any OCing at all...

Any advice would be great! Thanks!

I know homie...BUT...I'm not asking about the mobile versions. :)

Here, check it out yo:

Asus C90s

So...I think my question is still valid. :)

What do you guys think? E4300 vs. E6320? No OC'ing...does one run hotter than the other?

No one has any insight? Take the laptop out of the equation...just base the E4300 vs. the E6320 w/o the intention of OCing either one...

Ok, so the e6320 has lower heat output? That's important in a lappie.

What about the E4400?
