I have a technical question I have not yet had answered.

I am running some video editing apps. I am looking to buy a laptop to use as a secondary editing system. I want to get the best I can but still be $$$ conscious.
I run a lot of external devices for video capture and storage...
So what should I look for in a CPU Cache or Bus
I can get a P4 with 800mhz FSB but only a 533 cache
or I can get a Dothan with 2mg cache but only 400 FSB
which will help me render better?
Which will help me capture better?

Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
