Which one should i get. Suggestions are welcome as long as its around 1200ish
Thanks!

 

The 8600M GT kills the HD3450 in games. The XPS M1530 is the one you want of those two. COD4 runs great on mine. FSX is a bit more demanding but should run fine on medium-high settings.

 

Thanks thats really all i needed for a decision lol. XPS Here i come.... again.

 

Oh wait lol another thing, Is there a noticable diffrence between the T8100 (2.1GHz/800Mhz FSB, 3MB Cache) and the T8300 (2.4GHz/800Mhz FSB, 3MB Cache)?

 

Not a huge difference, I have a t8100 and it does all the multitasking/gaming I can throw at it without a single slowdown.

 

thanks for the help. I ordered mine early this morning with the t8300 . I wanted led lol

 

Congratulations on your purchase. You will most definitely not regret your decision on the LED screen. You look at it compared to all the other laptops out there, yours will stand proudly on top of the rest. Excellent choice!
