    Is there a noticeable performance difference between a 1.73 GHz non-Santa Rosa processor w/ 2MB L2 on the Toshiba U305-S5107, the 1.8 GHz Santa Rosa w/ 2MB L2 on the Toshiba U305-S5127, and the 1.83 GHz non-Santa Rosa w/ 1MB L2 on the U305-S5097. i.e if i don't mind the difference in HD size and can add my own ram....whats the best deal?

    additionally, does anyone know if the U305-S5097 has 1 1GB DIMM or 2 512MB DIMM and how easy they are to replace

    I'm leaning toward the S5107
    the S5127 is $1249.99 @ Costco

    Erm, there's also other BIG differences:

    The S5127 comes with the 'extended' battery while the others Do Not; it also has a better videocard -> X3100 vs. lower model videocards in the other laptops; also some of them have bluetooth built in while others DO NOT (somewhat minor, but it's nice to just get it with the package).
