    These two cpus are configurable on an HP dv6000t, and the T2350 costs $125 while the T5300 is at $170. The T2350 is higher clocked, but I can't find info on it anywhere (even on Intel's site). Besides being only 32-bit capable, would it be superior in performance against the T5300?

    From looking at the bench chart on Notebookcheck, there is a T2400 with a slightly lower clock than the T2350. Do you think it would be close to the T2400 (which beats the T5300 in the chart)? http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmarklist.2436.0.html

    T2350: 1.86Ghz@533, max 14x

    This is an overclock gem as pushing to 667Ghz would make it a 2.26Ghz part. There is a newer one, T2450 max at 15x so you can get 2.5Ghz. Almost the highest clocked notebook CPU. However, T5300 is an over all better chip in terms of efficiency.

    Meaning it has lower battery usage, or that it is more effecient working per clock cycle? I'm not too concerned about battery savings, only performance for tasks like video encoding (for example).

    Thanks.

    clock for clock about 10% faster for core 2 duo so for this particular case, you have sort of a tie. But if you overclock the T2350 it would be faster(and is still within the design spec of the CPU as T2700 is a 667 FSB part).

    I have played around with mine a bit and I think T2350@667 is about as fast as a T7100(and should be on par with T7200 if I use the PC5300 DDR2 RAM instead of PC4200).

    T5300 should use less power though.

    Cool. Do you use a certain program to overclock your cpu? I'm assuming that the BIOS will be locked for overclocking, as my current notebook is.

    clockgen. Make sure it can find your chipset's PLL IC though. Mine is a Samsung R40plus which use ATI chipset and I can overclock the FSB.

    I would probably go with the T5300 because it's a newer and more efficient CPU.

    I just wish they still had the T7200 available. It would have made it much easier. :D

    hmmm why dont they have that anymore? ran outta stock eh?

    tried overclocking with my dv9000 using clockgen, got a BSOD, not so easy to find the required stuff.

    I guess that means clockgen won't work, as the dv6000t has the same chipset. Still, it looks like the T2350 is still much better than my Sempron 3300+ in synthetic benches.
