    I have an Inspiron 6400 notebook with a T2050 1.6 Ghz CPu, its crazy slow and I thinks its about time i went ahead and changed it. I was consideing the 7400 adn the 7600 but gave up 7600 because of the price gap. Also can anyone tell me if the prices of the slot m processors are gonna go down any time soon ? shud i wait or go ahead with the upgrade . . if the price drop happens i might still consider the 7600 . . . .

    thanks in advance

    There's no point to wait until Intel's new processor lineup. It seems only the Socket P processors are due for price cuts. With the age of the M Meroms, there's not much chance of them falling because of Penryn.
