Difference between 2.26ghz and 2.53ghz ... is there any?

[dunlapface]

Well, my macbook just crapped out on me so I am looking to buy one of the unibody macbook pro's and I want to know which one to get. I want one of the 13" screens.

Both models look the same besides the processor speed which is only about a .27 difference and some memory and hard drive differences which I can upgrade for cheaper on my own. Is this something that is worth paying the $300 difference or should the 2.26 save me some money and just upgrade the memory and hard drive and suffice just the same?

I want to get opinions because I'd like to save a couple bucks if I could if it's not that much of a deal breaker.

Thanks!

If you searched the forums you would find that the answer is "no."

The biggest thing that makes a difference in Apple speed is RAM. MMM RAM. Is there such a creature as a Ram monster on seasame street.
