    I am at the last stages, literally, of buying this computer system from Dell. Somebody please tell me if the jump from 2.6GHz to 2.8GHz is worth the $150.00 (CDN dollars) upgrade?? I haven't found much info around regarding this...help please!?!:confused:

    No. You can't tell much difference, UNLESS the 2.4ghz CPU is the 800 mhz bus one, and the 2.6 is the older (slower) 533 mhz BUS, then DEFINITELY save your money and get the 2.4 (it's faster).

    Note that along with the faster FSB of the CPU, the RAM should be different, DDR400. Check that out also.
