Upgrading my laptop - Which CPU?

[ms110]

Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading my laptop and have 2 different CPU's in mind at the moment, both are similar in price.

a) Intel Core 2 Duo T5600: 1.83GHz, 2MB Cache, 667MHz FSB, 64Bit.

or

b) Intel Core Duo T2700: 2.33GHz, 2MB Cache, 667MHz FSB

Which would be faster? I did see the Anandtech article about the Core Duo T2700 and the T7600 and saw that the T2700 was slightly slower, but how does it compare to the T5600?

I'm not really too bothered about 64 bit support either.

Thanks.

The T7600 has more L2 cache 2mb vs 4mb so it is going to be a bit faster especially in a notebook with a 5400RPM HDD

Get the fastest GHZ processor, based on your 2 options then the T2700

What about the new MacBook Pro's? They're really fast.
