xnostradamusx - thanks for your advise... i can say im a hardcore gamer back in the phil because i spend my freetime playing ragnarok, special force, crossfire and warcraft especially dota ^_^ V .but i think i will just play some rpg games here and warcraft because i read some thread there is a ip bandwidth allocation if you are outside the phil when playing mmorpg and especially 1st person games like the 2 i mentioned before.

Honestly I   just based my post on the text description provided in the intel website. But I hope to see or do a test comparison between the two to see the exact difference of their performance. BTW I'm using core i5 with 1gb VC / 8GB memory and I enjoy playing online and 3d games from it and designing using  corelx5 and PS CS5.

if youre a gamer go for 2nd gen i7 the price difference is only not that much but it will be worth it also you can use it for a long time because even windows 8 comes youre hardware will still pass.also take note if youre a hard core gamer and play high spec games like crysis 2 you have to always consider 1 gb video card or higher its important to have a dedicated video card otherwise the games wont run in your computer

For office works and the other software you mentioned, Core i5 + Dedicated GPU/VCard is more enough.
