    Ok, I'm about to order my XPS M1330 The basic setup is:

    T5250 1.5Ghz 2mb 677mhz
    2gb RAM
    8400gs 128mb

    I was curious, in a gaming setting, if the T5250 or the GPU would be the bottleneck?

    I'll feel more comfortable about my setup knowing spending hundreds more dollars (on a better processor) wouldn't affect my gaming performance that much.

    The GPU will still be the bottleneck. Just about any processor now-a-days is too powerful anyway :\
