Hi, I am an engineering student that does no gaming and I am in the market for a new laptop and have some options im sort of confused about the differences. one has 1 gig dual channel and core duo 2300 1.66 ghz 2mb cache the other is just a pentium m 1.73 with 1gb shared ram the runs at slow fsb (??). I was wondering if the first would be overkill for what I am doing (no gaming, general applications, some big engr applications), the difference is about 400 dollars in the two, what would you guys suggest, thanks
 
You wanna take this into the General Hardware forums and change the title to something like "engineering student rig set up"
Also are you building this rig? buying it off of somebody? What's the budget? Give some more info and you will get better replies. Sorry I dont have enough knowlege to answer your question but im sure somebody will.
