IS there much difference in terms of speed between A and C as well as A and D?

if u got budget, get the 7 series lor

Most of the time you won't see much difference even though D have more cache than A and C is faster than A. I will chose the cheapest if I were you and use the extra money to buy more RAM

should have significant difference
as the (A) give 133mhz bus speed where the rest offer 166mhz.
or maybe you can wait the Santa Rosa which offers 200mhz?
of course with higher price

cache specific benchmark will show that D and E is better due to the larger cache.
but like Najmods said, get the extra ram instead of processor speed, and for that u need B,C,D and E coz of the 667fsb..unless u wanna oc la =b

in applications where cache play an important role like games, u can see a bit extra ~10% (or maybe less) in performance. else, it will b more or less the same, minus the heavier price tag of the 4MB version. usually price alot more expensive. if for me, i would have get the cheapest one. and get free speed upgrade by OC

laptop c2d can oc as well??

perhaps not..
even can oc, if u overclock it, u will be sitting in front of volcano

it depends on your usage, i can notice a difference during video editing on my T7200 vs my frenz T5500 but totally not on leisure activities like surfing, movie watching, music listening & etc.

but wat software use to oc??

some lappy got option in bios
but branded lappy such as compaq juz got time and date setting in bios
LOL

hmm.. mine can.. using software. but im using amd la.. not intel

hey, it can overclock lar. using software overclock tool - clockgen. but, i dont think u wanna do that, since it will eat ur battery life (like a thirsty babe drinking some "white" thing, during when she is hot - its coconut water lar, nt like wat u think ), unless u plug in to a power supply. but for me, if i need more kick from my lappie, esp when i want to encoding stuff, i sure overclock: i use Pentium M 1.73 and OC to 2.3
