    Hi,

    i would like to know if there is a noticable difference in these processors while gaming or multitasking?
    I would like to buy me a cheap low-end notebook with a T4200 or T6400 and a ati 3650. My notebook for the moment has a T5450 (fast enough for me).

    The processor won't make much of a difference if you're gaming since the 3650 will still be the bottleneck. If you do any type of encoding, ripping music, using photoshop, or things that are processor intensive, I would go with the T6400 if it's less than a $50 difference.

    I never encode, rip music,...

    Laptop for me is for simple games (have a ps3) like tfc2, cod2, ...
    office and internet browsing.

    I also found a lappy with a T3400 and a 9500gs 512mb dedicated (550euro).

    The other lappy i was talking about has a T4200 and a 3650 256mb dedicated (price 620 euro -> going to a T6400 is an extra 80euro's).

    Can't make up my mind. The first lappy is cheap and best choice i think?
