    Hello everyone. I just received a 6000, but now that the e1505 has a dedicated video card, should I return the 6000? The 6000 has a centrino 2.0ghz and the e1505 i "would" get would be 1.66 with everything else having the same specs, except for the wuxga screen. I don't know what I should do?

    So how exactly do I order that at that price? I can't even find the frigging thing on the Dell site.

    do you think that I will see a big difference between 1.66 core due and centrino 2.0?

    In terms of speed, It's kind of hard to compare a PM with a Duo. The PM will obviously excel in single apps, but if your running multiple apps then the Duo will do a great job of that. For gamming I think the PM 2ghz would be better then the Duo 1.66. But for some games and programs that utilize Dual core CPU's, they would perform better with a Duo.

    If I were you I would definitely return the 6000 and get a E1505. If your planning on doing any gaming or 3D work the X1400 will have a major advantage over the X300.

    Go for it! ;)
