Any significant performance difference?

2.53 - 2.8 = ~10%

2.8 - 3.06 = ~8%

2.53 - 3.06 = ~17%

That's with raw math, not real life

That depends on what you're doing. A faster processor definitely won't help you write a document quicker 😉 We need more details.

Do agood bit with Ilife (photos, movies) and run Parallels a good bit. Rip many movies with Handbrake.

2.8 GHz it is then. I'd recommend the 3.06 GHz CPU to anyone doing intensive engineering or research grade applications.

U need 8 Gigs of memory more than anything. The 2.8 looks like the best choice for you.🙂
