    The T7200 runs off a 667 MHz FSB and has 2 MB of L2 Cache. The T7300 has an 800 MHz FSB and has 4 MB of L2 Cache.

    The T7200 is the older Intel Napa core and the T7300 is based on the newer Santa Rose core. As mentioned, the T7200 had a 667 MHz FSB and the T7300 has an 800 MHz FSB. Intel also built in some new enhancements for power saving and some minor CPU updates to make them compute a bit faster even at the same speed (but nothing really noticeable in the real world).

    The new chipset also officially supports 667 MHz DDR2 ram & optional wireless-N vs only 533 MHz and wireless-G support with the older chipset.

    edit: Fraser13 is incorrect, the T7200 has the same 4 MB L2 cache as the T7300.
