Then there is the option should i just wait 3 months or so for something better

 

From what i've read, keep your $135. the performance diff between the 2.0 and the 2.13 will be negligable when you have 2G ram.

 

I'd agree on the CPU. You will only notice it if you are really pushing it. You might want to go with 1GB of memory you can always add more if it is not enough. You might want to consider a DVD burner. Even if you are not buring movies they are nice for backups. If you upgrade it later it will be more expensive and can be a bit of a hassle. Good Luck.

 

As posted, the 2.0GHz CPU will be plenty. Once you go over that speed in a Pentium M, the price/performance ratio is terrible.

2GB of memory is a good idea for games if you can afford it. When I upgraded my Sager 5320 to 2GB from 1, I noticed a large difference, especially in games such as BattleField 2, Quake 4, Doom 3, and Far Cry.

With the hard drive - don't get the Ultra ATA one - go for the Serial ATA version, it's a little faster, has NCQ (makes stuff load faster basically), and has a number of other little enhancements.

So here is the configuration I suggest:
2.0GHz
2GB DDR2-533 RAM
80GB 7200RPM Serial ATA Hard Drive
CD Burner (go with a DVD burner if you want for the reasons zazonz stated)

Should be a great upgrade to your current computer - congrats!

 

alright i think ive got it thanks for the help
