    Is the T5600 Core Duo 2 worth the $100 over the T2050 Core Duo?

    Two days ago I ordered a Dell m640 ( e1405). It cost $940 CDN. It has the T2050 1.6 core duo chip. 2MB cache 667 bus.

    Now the deal is $1040 for same same config with a Core 2 Duo chip (1.83 2MB cache 667 bus, same everything else)... will I see a tangible difference? (Use photoshop and web browse) Should I call and change my order?

    Any quick responses would be greatly appreciated... the laptop hasn't shipped yet, but I guess it will soon.!

    THanks in advance,
