But what I said still applies. You're already getting a Dual Core. Bumping up the processor speed is going to take you a few ranks before you might really notice a difference... so the question is, is the extra $500 worth the extra second or five per task?

If you're working a lot in Photoshop or video editing or something - maybe it is... but then you should also plop down an extra $75 - 150 for a better graphics card... so you're already doubling your original price...

Myself? I use my desktop for that kind of heavy lifting.
