    Hi,
    What are the primary upgrade differences for the Intel T7300 over the T7200? There is a notebook that can be bought with generally the same specifications except one has the T7200 for $100-$150 less. Is it worth the extra money for the T7300?
    Thanks.

    The T7300 has a faster bus speed, that is all. The notebook has the faster Santa Rosa platform as well then. Which notebook are you talking about?

    If you are after speed, the difference is minimal really but the battery lasts longer in the santa rosa platforms due to their newer power management features. and yeah what machine/s are you talking about?

    [EDIT]: already answered heh

    Hi SideSwipe,

    Q1: What do you consider "Minimal"!?!?!

    Q2: Would jmF's T7300 & Santa Rosa perform Faster Video Encoding?

    Thanks,
    G!
