Specifically, what's the difference b/t 2.2GHz and 2.4GHz?

What is impacted specifically by upgrading to 2.4GHz? I am not sure I need it, but just trying to understand what is affected?

 

[swiftaw]

a 9.1% speed increase?

Processor intensive tasks include video gaming, and video encoding, which the 2.4GHz will be better at

so for someone like me who does not play video games (anymore) and really is more focused on general uses, the 2.2GHz seems more than sufficient?

Look at it this way:

You wouldn't notice a difference going from a 2ghz core duo to a 2.4ghz core 2 duo for general uses So the 200mhz is meaningless to you

In reality, I don't think the difference is large enough to justify putting out the extra $500 for an extra 200mhz of power. Granted, the graphics are a little better and the HDD a little bigger, but for me at least, I can't justify $500 for 200mhz of extra processing power. For someone who is constantly using processor hungry applications it's probably different. For me, I'll take the 2.2ghz and be happy.

doesn't the 2.2 have 128MB SDRAM whereas the 2.4 has 256MB SDRAM?

Video ram, yes, but it will not be noticed for this guy.
