    i was looking at the CPU ranking at notebookcheck...and something caught my eye....

    the cpu ranked at 101...its the T2410 now look at the 2 cpu immedialty bellow it...its the T7100 and the T5670

    i can get that CPU new (T2410) for 33€ Link while the other two used on ebay cost around 40 Pounds...

    am i missing something here or is the T2410 underrated??

    thanks!!

    You aren't missing anything. Clock speed is more important than fsb and cache. What are you looking to buy this for?

    You won't notice a performance boost from T2310 to T2410. CPU upgrades rarely yield significant performance boosts.

    Whatever you're playing, the Intel GPU is almost certainly your bottleneck and isn't upgradeable. I'd recommend saving the money.

    For how much do you think you can sell the T2310 ?

    I think thats the question. I'd still do it for good cost. ;)
    (and you'll also mark up your notebook's price)

    Unless you're stressing out the CPU constantly, you won't notice a difference. For gaming as stated above, the GPU will always be the bottleneck, so again you will see no difference with a CPU upgrade.
