    Hi, I was wondering are there coupons for Dell Vostro's?
    Or are they just for their home products?

    Also, what are your opinions, in changing from an
    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T7250 (2.00 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2-cache)
    to an
    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T7500 (2.20 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 4 MB L2-cache) for 105e

    Is there much off a performance difference, to make it worth it?
    Do you suggest sticking with xp pro or getting the vista business edition?

    I am trying to see if I can get:
    BASE Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T7250 (2.00 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2-cache) edit
    OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows Vista® Business - English edit
    SUPPORT SERVICES Base Warranty - 1 Year Business Hardware Support edit
    LCD 15.4" Wide Screen WXGA+ (1440 x 900) Display with TrueLife™ edit
    INTEGRATED WEBCAM Matte Jet Black with 2.0 mega pixel camera edit
    MEMORY 3072MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM (1x1024 + 1x2048 MB) edit
    HARD DRIVE 160GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive edit
    GRAPHICS CARD 256MB nVidia® GeForce® 8600M GT edit
    OPTICAL DRIVE Fixed Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Drive edit
    PRIMARY BATTERY Primary 6-cell Lithium-Ion Battery (56 WHr) edit
    for cheaper than € 821.59.
    Obviously cheaper than 926.59 if I get the better processor.

    I don't know about any codes but there is a massive thread on bargain alerts so there may be a few codes on that.

    I'd stick with the T7250 myself. I just don't think T7500 is worth the extra €100. You'll only notice the speed difference in really cpu intensive tasks. If you do a lot of video editing then maybe consider it. It wouldn't make much difference in gaming either.
