    Ok, I've got an Alienware M9750 with a T7200 Processor already. I've got an opportunity to pick up a T7600 to install in it for £125+Postage. Or $250 in dollars!
    Is it worth me getting this processor or not? What do you guys think?

    Are you going to be upgrading the processor your self? or ailenware is going to do it for you? Also I don't think you'd notice a big difference between those speeds.

    Hmm so it's quite a big improvement on SLI rendering in Crysis?

    I'll do it myself if Alienware wont! I've upgraded the network card and memory on this already :) I've also changed CPU's in other laptops!

    $250 for 330MHz? That's a bad deal, don't bother. You're not going to notice a difference between the T7200 and the T7600 for most applications, and there's nothing a T7600 can do that a T7200 can't.
