Help Alex buy a laptop part 2. Processor differences? T2250, T5200 and T5500?

Most of that is probably Firefox. Leaks like a sieve.

Vista is fine in 1GB - wouldn't recommend less though.

Yes, I admit, my experiences with Phillips are old, so yes, they probably are a lot better now, but what I saw both from the hardware and their repair engineers was enough to put me off for good.

As for Dells of a few years ago, yes, they sure were plasticky, but unlike that old Phillips, they did actually work, and still do. The two 10-year-old ones under my desk back that up - worst I've had is a couple of fan failures and a disk that started to die (but worked long enough for a backup).
