1.83 C2D vs 2.0 C2D

I'm going to be getting a macbook soon, but I'm having trouble choosing between a 1.83 C2D or one of the newer 2.0 C2D. I know there is a difference in the speed of the chips, but what kind of a difference does the extra cache in the 2.0 GHz model make? Would I notice a difference in browsing the web, word processing, and burning a CD or DVD at the same time? Thanks.

You would only notice a difference if you did some intensive CPU tasks, such as video encoding and sat there with a stopwatch.

Any Core2Duo can do the tasks you describe in its sleep.

Thanks a lot. Sounds good.

Hardly any difference at all. It might open Photoshop 0.000001 of a second quicker.

Not quite true, i feel a overall better performance on my 2,16 and i friends 2.0 . Some difference no?

i have a 2.0ghz c2d and my friend has the slower one also another friend of mine has the mbpro at 2.16ghz the diffrence in the macbooks doing 3d work and video work is a bit not grate but its still there but the speed diffrence from mine to the 2.16 pro is not that much when do the same tasks so i say go for the 2.0

There wil be some difference but not much...
