Okay, so I'm not an expert when it comes to processors, but I'm pretty sure with the new intel i5 models the more the better it is when it comes to numbers. I posted a thread about this laptop which I would buy for gaming and video editing, as in games I meant GTA 4 and Fallout 3 (medium or low graphics on GTA 4 if i need to) But anyway the laptop I want to buy here

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16834220739

has an i5 450M processor, and I saw the same laptop playing GTA 4 at 25 FPS average here on Youtube

So heres the problem, even though somebody helped me by telling me it was a good laptop for gaming, BUT then I found out the laptop in the video is BASICALLY the same except the processor is i5 520M, will this effect my gameplay by much since the processor in the video is better than the one in the laptop I might buy? Thanks in advance

The graphics card is more important than the processor for games.

Dude, that's not what I'm asking, I know that the graphics card is more important I'm just asking if it'll change the FPS on games by much, and the overall performance

According to Intel specs, the clock speeds of both models are identical. The only difference is that the 520M is an embedded chip and the 450M is not. That means that there should not be any performance differences between the two CPUs.

edit: I looked closer and there is another difference. The 520M also has a higher Turbo Boost speed. However, that's unlikely to make a serious difference.
