Which processor would you get?

1.7 Dothan or 1.6 Banias?

I do want to game with this laptop so the larger cache is not so great for that, however I am unsure if the 100 mhz increase in the clock speed will make up/exceed the loss due to the larger cache in the Dothans.

Now ideally I would get a 1.7 banias, however the reseller I want to use doesn't carry it anymore (powernotebooks.com).

So what is everyones opinion here?

Thanks!

Eh? The larger L2 cache will also increase performance, especially in games which tend to be latency sensitive as long as you're not video card limited.
