buying a new laptop but need help please

Hi, I've kind of narrowed it down to 3 (all Acer), based on previous things I've read & recommendation of this brand from others.

They all have 2GB Ram & 160GB hard drive & 2 have core 2 duo processors- but thats where I'm getting stuck! They have different things after the processor like this:

Intel Core 2 Duo Santa- Rosa (T5450 - 1.66GHZ, 667Mhz FSB 2MB) or
Intel Core 2 Duo Santa- Rosa (T7300 - 2.0 GHZ, 800Mhz FSB 4MB) or finally
Intel Pentium Dual Core 64Bit (T2310 1.46GHZ, 1MB L2 cahce, 533 MHZ FSB)

These bits I do not understand and wondered if they are even relevant to me!

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks

The second one has a faster processor, the third one has the slowest processor. Whether you need the faster processor depends on what you plan to use it for and how much more expensive it is.

The T7300 is the fastest, T5450 next and the T2310 the 'slowest'. Assuming you aren't doing gaming, heavy photoshop/video editing, and are happy with the screen quality, go for the cheapest. Doubt you'd notice any difference between the T7300 and T2310 while web browsing, working etc.
