    Other than the memory speed and a few other features what is the differences between a L2400 and a L7500?
    I am looking at getting a CF-30 and the price difference for the L2400 and the L7500 is $300. Is the L7500 that much better to cost that much more?

    I don't think its that much better. It has the higher fsb and L2 cache, but doesn't seem justified for $300. To some people it may be.

    I own both models

    Under normal condition's you will never max out the processor, so you will not notice a performance difference

    Your best bang for the buck , is to take part of the $300 you save on buying a mk-1 and put it towards a ssd drive
    The upgrade to a ssd drive is quite noticeable

    The only change in features between the two is that the newer gobi 2000 WWAN was upgraded from the gobi1000 on the mk-1
