    i can grab a t7700 (not for the 570ru) for 140.00 or a t8300 for 200.00 both shipped prices... what would you do?? they are nearly the same performance (though i have personally not ever used a t8300 yet)... thoughts??

    T7700 is faster than T8300 if you want raw power.

    I will take extra L2 cache since both of them have the same clock speed.

    I would take the T7700, the T8xxx series are really slow in my experience.

    ^^ the 7700 and 8300 are the same speed.. in the tests i have seen the 8300 is in fact faster than the 7700 but not by very much

    In everyday use the 1mb less cache will make the T8300 sluggish.

    My Clevo came with a T8100 and it was horrible, it was like running Vista on a 486, so I put the T9300 in there and it's running much better.
