    For mostly quick Web browsing -- opening and closing a lot of pages on different Web sites -- is there any speed difference between a Core Duo machine like a T400s, and an i5 machine like a T410s? confused:

    Penny for your thoughts!

    not really, these things are not that taxing on the CPU, the application launch speed would depend on the OS you are using (Win 7 is the best) and what hdd you are using (SSD will improve the speed of application startup).

    Basically, the bottleneck will be in the amount of ram and how fast the hdd is.

    Get a RAMDisk, put your firefox profile folder in that disk, and you will get a noticable increase in browsing speed. Many a delay is due to read/write of small files.
