    which games?

    you may want to get a 1520 instead with 256mb 8600GT for gaming.

    It looks good to me. But I would also go with the 1520 if you want to do some serious, hard-core gaming. Otherwise, the dedicated 128mb on the 1420 should work fine for most games.

    I say downgrade the processor to the T7300 as there not mcuh difference between the T7300 and T7500 unless your going to be running some REALLY intensive games.
