I'm looking to buy a xps1530 and I trying to decide which cpu would be best.

IS there much to choose between them performance wise?
 
The T8100 has an extra 1mb of L2 cache and runs an 800mhz FSB instead of 667mhz. There is a performance difference but it shouldn't be too drastic.
 
I do not want to hijack the thread, but is there significant difference between T8300, T8100 and T7250?

The first two sport 3 Mb cash, but more importantly they are 45 nm mobile Penryns.

How much of an advantage is this?

Cheers,

Paul

EDIT: I have just found this comparison chart. It answers some of the questions related to performance as well as their TDPs

It should be a little bit quicker, not TO much but the main advantage should be that it runs cooler and should use less power then the 65nm variant. (EDIT: It has the same TDP of 35w so the power usage is the same I think...) If the price difference is big I'd go for a T7250.

Specificaion list on wikipedia
