    I'm currently planning on buying a Sager 2090-V. It comes standard with a T7300 but im wondering if its worth the money to upgrade to a T7500. Whats the difference in the performance of the two?

    About 5% or so...it isn't much and certainly not worth more than about $50 extra IMHO. The T7300 is arguably the best bank-for-the-buck processor right now.

    there won't be much of a difference.

    if u think ur computer is running slow, and u are running vista, add more ram to it. it will always help 'cos in vista it prefetches data into parts of the ram that is not used by your applications.

    save your money, and if you realy want to upgrade go for a faster harddrive or more ram.

    Ditto the above suggestions. Get Windows to run with less resources also helps.
