intel 750(1.86hhz) vs. 760 (2.0 ghz)

[deathwalker]

Im looking at buying a new Dell Inspiron 9300 with the 256 mb Geforce Go6800 graphics upgrade. I'm wondering if the extra money to upgrade from the 1.86 ghz proc. to a 2.0 ghz is worth it for the performance improvement. Anybody have a read on if that would be a worthwhile investment? It's $200 more for the 2.0 ghz model vs. the 1.86 ghz model....lets have some feedback from some well informed people!!!

I'm wondering about the same thing, I will probably be getting the 9300 too.

It's a little difference, but not that much.

Depends if you have 512mb vs 1gb as that would be a better upgrade as would a faster hard drive.

Not worth it. Check pricegrabber and spend that cash on a 1gig kingston chip. They have 1 gig chips listed for $131.00.

1 Gig Chip

That small of a gain in Mhz isn't worth the price diff if you aske me. Go and get a 7200 drive or another Gb of ram.
