if you are comparing a low voltage 1.8, like many of the 1.8s are... they are lower power, lower heat and the integrated graphics aren't quite as good. Overall I think the 2.4 (if its a full normal voltage mobile CPU) would be a noticeable improvement, but just barely... and depending on exactly what games your talking about.
Well I have a little Dell Optiplex 745 SFF, which has a 1.8ghz C2D at the moment. It's getting 4gb RAM & a HD6450 in the next couple of days & am debating on whether or not to upgrade the CPU while I'm at it.
I'll be playing nothing too intense - GTA (III, VC, SA, IV), ARMA II (DayZ). All of which the card can handle well enough. I'm just wondering if the CPU will be up to it too.

Since you have a GPU and are probably talking desktop CPUs, I doubt you'd tell a difference in the CPU.
