| Older notebook centrinos: how hot?
Which would run cooler: a Core Duo T2450; 2GHz w/ 2Mb L2 cache, or a Pentium dual-core T2130 1.86 Ghz w / 1Mb L2 cache. I'm looking a basic notebooks and although I don't mind a slower CPU I would prefer a cooler one. Obviously these are now being replaced by the Core 2 Duo machines. Would a CPU with a 1 Mb cache work harder than one with a 2 Mb cache??

| OK, so I got one ( the Core Duo T2450) and it runs very nice, and cool too.

It's on sale at Newegg for $648, {the 1 GB DDR2 RAM version that I have} but is out of stock on backorder. However the shipment is due in (9/24) before the Fujitsu Rebate runs out (9/30) so it possibly could be done with the Newegg Notification button.

Keyboard is a little bouncy but is 'spillproof', great screen, shock sensor protection for hard drive, Vista Premium, nice construction (Fujitsu builds its own machines). Steel grey finish is boring but fingerprint proof, includes fingerprint scanner in touchpad. CPU might be 'last years model', But quite acceptable for basic uses: ZDNet review is from August 2007. Comes with MS Works 8.5 and 6 week trial of MS Office 2007 Student version.
