    if i were to get T7700 (Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz) rather than T7500 (Core 2 Duo 2.2 Ghz), i would have to pay about 60 more dollars. is it worth the upgrade for about 60 more dollars? i know there was a thread similar to this, but the guy had to pay 125 more dollars, so i thought i would repost it. your help would be appreciated. :)

    I doubt you will see any difference in real world performance. I would pay $60 for it but that is just me.

    Even without a big difference, I think it's still worth 60$.

    Personally I probably wouldn't, the T7500 would be more than powerful enough for me, but if you can afford it and especially if you do encoding and other cpu dependant tasks with any regularity I would go for it.

    For just 60 bucks, yes I would definitely get the faster one.
