    This is for a $50 difference! I do a bit of gaming, photoshop'ing, word processing, internet surfing, itunes, and usually have quite a few windows open :D

    So which one should I get?

    For $50, I'd honestly just get the T7500. The performance increase isn't massive, however it is certainly not absent. Investing in a great processor is always smart.

    Yeh see thats what I was thinking, say in 2 years or so its probably better to have the stronger processor! Does the double cache really help?

    Like others have said, the difference between the two is not significant, but for only $50 I would do it.

    Now if this was like $100 or more, then it would not be worth it for the very slight performance increase. But $50 is not bad.

    my T7500 runs cooler than T7300 (T7250 is just a crippled T7300 with 2MB L2).

    I also had the option of getting the T7250 or the T7500 for $60 more. I wanted my computer to last for more then two years w/o getting outdated, so I went ahead and got it :)

    Agreed. I'd totally get the T7500 than the T7250. It's much faster too.
