Is the $200 hit worth it for a 27" 3.2 i5 to a 3.4 i7? Real world noticeable in a variety of uses?
Probably not if you actually have to ask! Only people with heavily threaded programs will notice the difference.
I ordered the i7 for mine for heavy use. The 2nd one i ordered with an i5 which will be used more for gaming and then multipurpose. I did get 680's on both. Would the i7 make games play any better or is it mostly in the vid card at that difference?
Actually some Games run slower on a same specced i7 because they don't play well with the SMT. Most games are not optimized to run on more then 2 cores. A fasted clocked processor will still be faster of course but this is a marginal increase and probably imperceptible in actual gameplay.
I just figure take the cost and divide it by 3 years minimum and then you are only paying:
66.00 a year
5.50 a month
so why not!
BUt then again..don't ask me how in debt I am using this type of justification for everything
