I will be getting the Dell Inspiron 9300...Good idea? I cant afford the XPS 2

I will be getting the
256MB NVIDA® GeForce™ Go 6800

The problem i'm having is deciding if i need this processor: Intel® Pentium® M Processor 760 (2 GHz/2MB Cache/533MHz FSB)

Or if Intel® Pentium® M Processor 760 (1.86GHz/2MB Cache/533MHz FSB) will do.

The 2Ghz is $200 more and this computer is already over my budget, so would I need it and how much on a difference would the 2Ghz be?

I am also thinking about the Sager's NP4381
15" SXGA+ Active Matrix LCD Display
Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 3.0GHz (800MHz FSB) supporting Hyper-Threading Technology
512 MB PC3200 DDR400 memory
40.0 GB (5400rpm) Ultra DMA Hard Drive
8X DVD / 24X10X24 CD-RW Combo Drive & Softwares , upgradable to 8X DVD ± R/RW/+DL Combo Drive with LightScribe Technology & Softwares
Smart Li-ION Battery
Integrated CMOS Video Camera and Built-in 7-in-1 Card Reader
ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9700 128MB DDR

The only problem is, CRAP VIDEO CARD

An option

Why dont you take a look at the HPs. The hp zd8000 series offers the x600 with 128mb ddr but instead of being agp, it is PCI-E (16x). Also, I think you are looking forward to play games. If you want the best performance, you should be looking into pure P4s and more ram. The zd8000 comes with up to 1gb ram and pure p4s. Froogle shows that the lowest price for it is at ClearanceClub. The laptop can be found here: http://www.clearanceclub.com/cgi-bin/quelle_showroom.cgi?sku=3474. It says that the product is factory reconditioned, but i read somewhere on the site that the reason they list products as reconditioned is because they are required to in order to sell it as a liquidation item.
