Well after building desktops for people for the past 6 years, It finally came the time that I finally started building my own laptop. anyways, I just ordered a Compal KHLB2 from avadirect. I ordered with it from newegg a Seagate 320Gb 7200RPM drive, and 2Gb OCZ DDR3 1066. I will be using Suse 11 and Windows 7 Pro on it which I preordered back in July when it was on sale. Anyways, I am left with about a $110USD for a processor (for both product and shipping...). Anyways there are a few benchmarks out there for notebook CPUs although i havent been able to pin-point one for the most bang for your buck. So basically my question is, What would be the best CPU out there that I could put in for the price range? I do game, and the GPU in the Laptop is a 4650, but the extent of the gaming would be left to COD4/HL2/BF series etc. I will have to use this laptop to a certain extent with VPC for a college credit.

EDIT: would not let me use the word c lass

It will run those games fine. My laptop with a P7350 and HD 4570 runs Team Fortress 2 fine.

EDIT: punctuation/spelling
