I was wondering if the upgrade on the MacBook Pro from 2.2ghz to 2.3ghz will add any major amount of performance. The reason I ask is because I'll just buy one from the store at the mall rather than ordering it online if its nothing major. All the other upgrades i'll do I can buy from somewhere else.
Got a tip for us?

I'm think I'm going to return my 2.3 for the 2.0. I don't think I need it just for my ps stuff using a nikon d200

I wouldn't spend a dollar on 100MHz..
If that's all you're getting out of the upgrade, it's honestly not worth it.

I had the same thoughts and actually got the 2.3. It has 8mb cache instead of 6 if I remember correctly. I don't know if I would ever actually notice the difference, but I definitely wanted try it out while using various programs. My advice, if you can afford it, why not, if you have to ponder over if you should for too long, don't do it, because you will have buyers remorse later.
That was my thinking exactly between the 2.0 and 2.2. I was all set to get the 2.2, and out of nowhere I started considering the 2.0.
For me it was $325 less after tax to get the 2.0. That extra money is AppleCare and an 8GB RAM upgrade.
