[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1057998, member: 24098"] Well, first off, let's get this question over to the right forum, since it's not a comment, question or suggestion about the forum itself. Personally, I would question the wisdom in buying a notebook - much less a Mac notebook - if playing games is a priority. But assuming gaming isn't at the top of your list, then no - processor speed isn't nearly as important as the graphics card (or GPU in this case) that the machine is equipped with. And certainly 200MHz won't afford that great of a difference in performance. With that said, if you're rendering 3D or doing complex calculations and an extra 30 seconds of time is a big deal in your line of work, then it would be a consideration. But what really makes the biggest difference in gaming is the power of the GPU. [/QUOTE]
