    Im looking to buy a Dell Notebook with a Pentium M Processor i was going to purchase the 8600 very soon and then i see that the new pentium M's are coming out with 533 Mhz FSB's. Should i wait and get a 533 MHz FSB or now and get 400 FSB. How much will that affect gaming/internet/dowloads? Thanks

    i'd wait for the 533's because i heard they'll have a 2.2 ready for that or something, and that they'll come out in like early 05 (around jan. i think it was).

    Yes, but don't expect that Dell will slap those thing's in the day that they are released. If, I were you I would purchase now especially during thte holiday season; so that you can save money. Also, because the new Pentium M's are going to cost a lot of money! Especially the 2.2GHz model! So I would buy now.
