2.0 ghz vs 2.4 ghz does it really make a noticable difference...?

The processor speed will not make a difference to most home users who surf the web, e-mail, or watch videos. You may notice a slight difference if doing video or audio editing/rendering. In my opinion, the difference is not worth the price premium.

Not really. If you are browsing the web and word processing I would go with 2.0 GHZ. I would use the extra money to buy the extended applecare or add more memory.

From the reading I did, it made no difference. I can't confirm this. My imac runs so much faster now with the 4 ram slots filled, but I have no idea if it would run even faster with 2

You should not see any performance difference, the only reason I chose 4x4 > 2x8 was for aesthetics.

Yes!! I initially thought that with the ram it wouldn't make a difference but it does. I'm sorry but I'm unsure of what will help at this point. Its not extreamly slow but just slower than I would like.

It's hard to pinpoint precisely, but considering you have a socket 775 motherboard, I'm guessing the rest of the hardware is a bit dated too. You will get a speed bump, not a major one. If you couple that cpu upgrade with a SSD hard drive, then you will notice the difference.

I am considering buying one of these desktops, just can't choose between the 2.0 or 2.4GHz models....I am not a hardcore gamer, mainly graphics programs and word processing, and some blog editing, but will the computer play FIFA 2008 and Sims 2?

It depends on the RAM chipsets supported by your processor(core 2 duo/P4/i3/i5). Search about it online and i guess u will get better and faster (better frequency) options than this one. I had an old system so bought this as my only option.

Well Taiz, in my opinion no. Thta's why I bought the 6422. I do not think 0.1 Ghz make much difference in terms of performace. Moreover, the greatest limitation of this laptop is the lack of a good video card, so I think pay $ 80 more for it is a waste of money. The other difference between them is the quality of web cam. The 6471 has a better webcam, but nothing to justify. I bought to wear at work and so the 6422 fits better my needs. I never used a SSD, but seems to be better. I have used a Hybrid Hard Drive, but I didn't notice nothing diferent.Regards,

It is a 2.0 ghz but can max up to 3.1. They caught me with that. Feels a little like false advertising to me.

Juan, when you're looking at CPU's, before making any decision think about what are your main uses for a tablet or any other computerized device. A cpu clocked at 1.2Ghz but with 4 cores would be better at multitasking compared to a 1.6Ghz dual core (2 cores) if you do lots of school work, or browse trough many applications at once, or even edit pictures and video then get a CPU with the most cores as possible. higher clockspeeds until now are good for gaming and loading times. Make your decision based on your needs, you can always do more research on your own. Good luck :)

The adapter works fine....but it will only go as fast as the 2.0 because thats as fast as the motherboard can handle

I have owned several of these keyboards and have not noticed any interference despite their being 2.4 gHz

In all reality, 1600MHz is about as good as it gets. You've got the stability and pretty close to the speed of the other speeds. The only real difference where that 2400 is actually noticeable compared to the 1600 is when you're benchmarking. But for day-to-day operations and even high performance tasks, they'll perform pretty close to the same. I'd stick with the 1600 for stability and price.

I agree with Alan.If you run the Performance Index you can see that the bottleneck comes from the CPU.BTW, I get 2.4 as Performance Index.

With 2.4 Ghz, it will drive well out of sight before it goes out of range. 200 feet and 30 yards as the other two answered, are not even close! It will go WELL beyond that.

Honestly, the speed means very, very little. You're talking differences of less than 1% performance under most circumstances. 1600MHz is enough for basically everything.

If you want to use 2.0 then I would buy one that is 2.0 and save a few dollars. This is faster and I would use 3.0 and get the better speeds, myself.
