How much of a difference does Santa Rosa make for someone who doesn't game, hardly ever uses any 3D apps but who however would like to use compiz or beryl on a decent sized screen (at least 1680*1050)?
Reason for asking is that I'm looking at HP nx7400 (I950) vs 6710b (Santa Rosa). While price wise the difference is rather small, the first supposedly is nearly silent whereas the latter spins its fan more often than not.
And silence is very important to me... For a frame of reference: a Thinkpad T60 is just barely acceptable to me, and that's WITH using tpfancontrol.
