I haven't used it, but the answer is no, it is not worth the extra money. the best thing to do would be to wait until January for a Penryn CPU. That will be worth the money because of lots of things that you may or may not want to hear about. basically, don't bother with the 2.6GHz.
many ppl asked that, the true is that is it worth 250 bucks? hell no. Should you buy it? definitely yes! CPU is not like like RAM which you can be upgraded later if necessary. It is fixed on the chip so that you may not be able to upgrade it at a late time. So in my opinion you should get what's the latest for CPU.
I think $250 towards the next computer makes more sense than a 400mz increase in the current comp.
You must be one of the first users I have ever known to actually consider upgrading the cpu on your laptop when it's showing old age.
This is horrible advice. If you won't notice any difference since Ghz is the least spec to provide more efficiency to a CPU these days and you also claim it is not worth it, your advice simply makes no sense.
Is the 2.6 worth it? NO.
Will people still buy it? Probably.
Honestly I didn't even want the 2.4ghz (intel overcharges on the higher spec cpu's). But that was the only way to get a semi decent amount of vram.
Considering that the 2.4ghz seems to be on a very fine margin, I'd hate to see what the 2.6 does to temperatures.
