    okay i have several questions for u guys.
    firstly for the CPU it says:
    Intel Core 2 Duo processor T8300 (+$15.40)
    Higher processor speed significantly improves the performance of your system

    2.4GHz, 3MB Cache, 800 MHz FSB
    90W AC Adapter
    Shipping Mod with Powercord(90W)

    and then

    Intel Core 2 Duo processor T9300 (+$227.70)
    2.5GHz, 6MB Cache, 800 MHz FSB
    65W Light-Weight Adapter

    which one should i get? Whats the difference b/w the Cache and the adapter


    2ndly

    whats the difference between: LCD display with intergrated 2 mega pixel web cam and slim & light WLED display with VGA webcam (+$100.10)


    3rdly
    is it worth paying $229 more for the 2yr warranty or $352 more for the 3 year complete cover thing. Or should i just stick with the default option (1 year +$0.00). PS i plan on using it for around 2 years or so.


    Thanks heaps!
