sz and the dual core 2.1-heat temp?

Just wondering what the heat temp is on a 2.1 on the sz notebook. I have the 1.8Ghz and under full load the temp is around 63c, what is it on the 2.1?
I was thinking about getting the intel chip to upgrade my unit. Since the dual core 2 arent THAT much of a jump, going to the 2.1 when prices come down, might be a good idea.
It SHOULD give me a speed boost of around 25%? with the extra 300mhz jump? Might be worth $400. eh... hard one. its mostly for gaming.

 

Since both will be worth around 400, which is better?
T2600 Core Duo or T7200 Core 2 Duo.

 

Assuming I'm using an application that mainly stresses the CPU, temps are roughly the same. However if I use a game, which stresses both CPU & GPU then the temps go a little higher.

Tough one, the T2600 is a little faster then the T7200 MHz wise. (2.16 GHz vs 2.0 GHz) But actual performance, if comparing the same speed CPU, the T7x00 (Merom) series is a little faster. For the T7x00 series, they improved on the weak points of the T2x00 series so even if its a little slower MHz wise, I think the T7200 is still better.

 

That is true, but I was thinking on what would work in this computer. I highly doubt (but wishing) that Sony will be kind and update the bios to take meron. So I would be stuck at getting the fastest chip Sony would normally stick in this machine.

 

Sony for sure will release the Bios update soon. But the timing for us to upgrade to merom seem early as it is costly right now.

 

"Tough one, the T2600 is a little faster then the T7200 MHz wise. (2.16 GHz vs 2.0 GHz) "

I'm a little confused: I though the T2600 was 2.16Ghz. Mine is a T2600 and its reported to run at 2.16.

 

Haha, you wish. They'll release a new SZ model names SZ3 that differs slightly so you can't use the SZ3 bios for the SZ2. You don't honestly think Sony is supplying you with a bios that supports merom when you're not even allowed to change CPU without loss of warranty.

Besides the main "boost" of merom comes in a 64bit os. Today you won't see much gain so I'd rather go for a fast, cheap and fully supported T2600 or even T2700.

 

I'm not sure where you are confused, maybe mis-read? The T2600 is 2.16 GHz, while the T7200 is 2.0 GHz.

What I said is in a MHz comparison, the T2600 has a higher MHz then T7200. But in actual usage they may give the same performance or the T7200 probably still be a tad better.
