How great is the speed diffrerence between these two systems. asuming everything else is the same (RAM, Video card, HD)

I am deciding between the two. Price isnt a concern. BUt what is a concers in HEAT... i work in a tiny office that gets hot quick with my PC, 2 19" sony displays, numerous video / audio gear and dual 533 system.

I have heard the 2.5 gets hot and that the fans are noisey...

any input is appreciated 🙂
 
I would say that it is indeed noisier than my iMac (of course) but I don’t have any other comparisons. In normal use it’s not very noisy but under heavy load it gets noticably louder. And this is when it gets hotter, too. My room is always warmer than the rest because of this.
