    Hey everybody, i currently own a HP Pavilion zd8000 with a Mobility x600 but i'm selling it to get a better video card. I'm looking at a Dell Inspiron E1705 with a Geforce Go 7800. My question is how important is the processor! I want to just buy the 1.66Ghz duo processor, but is that going to hurt my gaming by a lot? It's expensive to upgrade the processor as you may know, and i'm trying to save some money.

    The T2300 (1.66Ghz Core Duo) is a very powerful GPU, it wouldn't hurt your gaming at all really.

    With Dell's coupons you can get a better one thanthe T2300 if you're still worried though, for reletively cheap. The E1705 can be nearly maxed out with on eof Dell's coupons and cost less than $1500.
