Experience improved energy efficiency, expanded wireless connectivity, and awesome battery life with the 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which has a super-near 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and an extra-large 6 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores materials; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will shoot better overall performance.)
The new hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical widespread leakage in transistors--conserves even more energy, giving you more time away from the close off outlet. With 6 MB of shared L2 cache, data and instructions can be kept close to the two processor cores, greatly increasing deportment and allowing the entire system to work more efficiently. And, because the processor cores share the L2 secrete, either can use the entire amount if the other happens to be idle.

But when you need turbocharged execution for the most graphically intensive tasks, the discrete NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT processor delivers--such as for taxing 3D games like Quake, Call of Duty, and Spore. And thanks to a new graphics architecture, it's tranquilly to switch between these two processors. The 9400M graphics processor shares 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM with biggest memory, while the 9600M provides 512 MB of dedicated GDDR3 video respect.
