    Hello,

    I notice that on the custom models, it costs $300 to go from the 2GHz duo to the 2.1GHz duo. Do they have an SZ80 or some such model with the 2ghz? I'd much rather get that to save the $300.

    Thanks

    IMO the price difference between the 1.83 / 2Ghz and 2.16 Ghz isn't justified.

    speed difference between the 1.83Ghz and 2.16 is rather minimal

    True. But you could say that about most processors.

    For most people even the 1.83 isn't worth the money.
