Macbook Pro 2.2 vs 2.4

[phunkey]

Hey all,

I've decided to shell out some cash for a Macbook Pro, mainly for audio recording and mixing. My only question is whether the difference between the 2.2GHz and the 2.4GHz model is noteworthy at all - other than price ? I can't imagine that the .2GHz justify the xtra cash, but I noticed that the graphics card of the cheaper model is 128MB compared to 256MB on the 2.4 one. Will this make a big difference?

Any advice is very much appreciated!

Thanks,
Max

There's not really much difference between the two that most people would notice.

Unless you're going to be a hardcore gamer (if you are you shouldn't be buying a MBP anyways..) then no, it's not going to make a big difference. Worth the $500? Not in my book.
