    hello everyone

    a couple of days ago i ordered my 1530 off the dell website. hours of boredom from waiting later i discovered these forums and everyone talking about the T7500 2.2 GHZ processors, did i make a huge mistake by just taking the 2.0 GHZ model?

    i plan on playing games and the like on my new machine when i get it all of the other specs seem fine to me (4gb of ram high def audio high res screen) but all of the talk about the 2.2 ghz processors has me worried.

    *edit* hard drive isnt a concern of mine either 200gb 7200 rpm sata

    Your T7250 is cool, if you plan on doing any rendering or intensive conversion, than a faster processor is cool. I multitask, render, convert, etc. a lot, so spending the extra was worth it, but if you are gaming and such, then what you got is great. The reason to upgrade would be a larger cache, but only if you have the money to spare.
