Ok, so if one was considering between the two Macbook Pro 13"'s and hard drive wasn't a consideration but speed was (not really needed but just want more speed), is there really that much of a difference between the 2.4 GHz processor and the 2.66? Or is one most likely not going to notice?
I mostly do email and internet and honestly my current computer would probably be fine if I upgraded the ram, but I also want to do some light gaming (something my current computer's graphic card is sadly pretty crappy at even that... I have the mid 2007 Macbook and even most of the games out then it would run not so great at best). I don't think I care about it being a heavy gaming machine but I'd like to be able to install some current games on it to run and not just cheesy little stuff like gardening games or Sudoku (Shoot, Sims 3 specifically calls out my graphics card as not compatible). Really I've been wanting the light up keyboard, aluminum body, and the monitor with the black border looks so much nicer (white is not a good color to frame a screen with, black makes colors pop out so much better), and the touchpad since they started that body style (as well as a computer with a better graphics card). I don't really want a 15 or 17", I like the portability of the 13" and it's usually connected to a large 21" monitor at home so I don't care if the screen is small.
So would there really be a point for me to get the faster processor?

I don't think the processor will make a ton of difference. I'm going to get a SSD, which will speed the machine WAY up
