I am planning to buy a new laptop as a desktop replacement and for occasional travel. I will use it mainly to surf the web, occasional music downloads and MS office applications (PowerPoint and Word). I do NOT run gaming applications. During travel I may watch a DVD or two. I have my eyes on a 15 or 17" Dell laptop with Core 2 Duo, 1 GB RAM, and 80G HDD. Which of the following would be worth spending extra dollars on to enhance the performance/speed of my computer (mostly for web surfing): processor speed, front bus speed, L2 cache, HDD speed, video card memmory, RAM, RAM speed? Is there a "rate-limiting" process when surfing the web other than connection speed?
