Both have the pros and cons one has a faster processor, one has a lot more ram im told the 8600M GS (256MB) and the 9500M GS (512MB) are about equal. What do you think would be the best buy between these two: Number One Number Two

i mentioned that before nether of they're bus speeds are that great, but the core 2 duo packs a punch!! beside the drive on the second one being of an older version and not having light scribe and the option to burn DL dvds its a sure thing, but ya id agree wait for a second or third opinion
check this thread the next new day you never know....some guys might just pop in and give u some great advice but otherwise for what your paying the "number two" is worth every penny
