Noticable difference between the 2.4 Ghz and 2.66 GHz for 13 MBP?

[Gameaholic]

Is there a noticable difference between the 2.4 Ghz and 2.66 GHz intel core 2 duo processor for the 13.3 Macbook Pro in terms of task such as surfing the web, watching HD movies, watching videos on Internet, and other everyday tasks? Is it worth the extra money to buy the 2.66 GHz processor? Has there been any benchmark tests?*

That question seems to warrant many threads as it seems.

I really have no idea, but I'm willing to bet that there isn't a $300 difference

To answer the original question, I doubt it.

I have the same question but...

...for slightly more processor using apps than the original poster.

Yes, I need the smaller form factor. The most intensive apps I’ll likely use are Adobe Photoshop, iMovie, Streamclip, and Handbrake…and maybe some games if Steam makes my wishes come true.

I called the Apple Store, and she said that I won’t see much difference between the 2.4 and 2.66 unless I’m using the Pro apps…in which case she recommended I go with an iCore in the 15” or 17” anyway.

Your thoughts or experience.

Edit: She did say that I *might* see difference when writing large files (like video) to the drive.

It's such a tiny difference, I'd say you won't notice it at all.
