What type of Processor should I get?
(Celeron / Pentium M / Core Duo / Core 2 Duo)
What's the difference between them? (except for price)
Core 2 Duo's the best, that I know but what about pro's and con's?
Pentium M should be lighter on the power consumption but less powerful, am I right?

I recommond a config with Core 2 Duo ~2GHz, 2 GB RAM & a neat Geforce Go Live 7xxx GPU. It should be enough for 3 years.

You can try:

HP Pavilion dv6500t series

Buy HP Pavilion dv6500t series, HP Pavilion and Compaq Presario Notebook PCs and Laptop Computers direct from the HP Home & Home Office Store

Or check all HP Lappie range: Buy Notebook PCs available in different series direct from the HP Home & Home Office Store

<----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

What's the difference between:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6xxx and T5xxx or so?
What about nVidia's 8xxx series and 7xxx series?
Are there any 7200 good HDD's available on the market?
Would 7200 HDD's cause a big impact on the power consumption, as opposed to a regular 5400 HDD?
Is there any way I could find out the power consumption of the components I'd like to buy and do the calculations on my own?
I have some more questions but I'll keep them until I've made some more arangements!

Intel E 4XXX and 6XXX are Core architecture based processor made for Desktop. while Intel T5XXX and T7XXX are Core architechture based Santa rosa models for Lappy.
nVIDIA 8XXX and 7XXX are GPU model number today best 1 out there is nVIDIA 8800 Ultra well for laptop the latest is 8400 GM/GT ..while ALienware will provide SLI 7900 GO..
7200 has a gr8 advantage over 5400 the spindel speed of HDD give better speed and thus increase the performance.. Today the latest and the talk of the town is Seagate 7200.11 which wil rule the HDD arena after a while

Believe me ALienware is just a waste of money only for uberrrrrrrrrrrrr rich guys who did not care for money .. If you are among those buy it else get Dell XPS M1310in or M1710in the best budget Gaming laptop.. well its a fact that good gaming isn't possible on larrps LMAO
