Hi,

I was choosing my Dell latitude E6500 components and I was surprised by the first component descriptions.

When I want to select my processor I have these options:

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo P8400 (2.40GHz, 3M L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB) included in price

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo P8600 (2.53GHz, 6M L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB) add $61  

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T9500 (2.53GHz, 6M L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB) add $194  

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T9400 (2.53GHz, 6M L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB) add $133
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T9600 (2.80GHz, 6M L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB) add $399

It seems quite neat, but I am confused between the Intel Core 2 Duo T9500 (2.53GHz, 6M L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB) and its price. I found this :

T9600   2.80 6 35 $530

T9400   2.53 6 35 $316

P9500   2.53 6 25 $349

P8600   2.40 3 25 $241

P8400   2.26 3 25 $209

Looking at the prices I am not sure if T9500 should have been P9500, first because the price of T9500 is not that high and the T9500 Bus Speed is 800MHz not 1066 MHz, also the CPU speed is not 2.53 but 2.6Ghz as written in the Dell site.

I wanted a response from someone as soon as possible as I wanted to buy the system and I am not sure which one to choose.

Please clear me up.
