iirc the i5s have a MUCH higher turbo-boost.

Go with whichever is clocked higher.
Back from the grave and working on textures.

The 640m has a far higher clockspeed. Something like 600mhz.

The only difference between i5's and i7's is their socket numbers.

In this case the difference between the i5 520m and 640m is about 600mhz and 1MB of L3 cache.

Currently I get like... 20-25fps on Resident Evil 4... and I basically want to push that up to 25-30. In 30FPS games you can REALLY feel the difference between 25 and 30.

You think it'd give me enough of a boost to push me to around 28-30?

Set dolphin up to run on two threads (unclick thread 2 and 4), then your cpu should turbo boost 2.9ghz and then you should have perfect frame rates. Be careful though, as your laptop would probably heat up when that happens.
