[QUOTE="CrimsonRequiem, post: 869511, member: 62286"] I don't see .4 Ghz being game breaking or making a huge difference at all. Nor will it be any better for games. Ripping DVD is does use the CPU but in the end I think it depends on how fast your Super drive can read/write data that matters. For applications the RAM is the thing that will make it run smoothly or not. GPU is hardware so it's a physical thing as it's attached to the logic board, and can't be removed. If you had a PC machine, talking about a desktop machine you can remove the GPU easy since it's not welded onto the Motherboard. I don't particularly like Radeon but in this case it renders 3D better than the other two GPU that is available, it's not the best GPU in the world. I love Macs and it's fine if you want to game on them if it's just casual. Personally I just like to keep gaming separate from my work computer. Plus I don't want to torture my Mac, by installing Windows on it. Overclocking is making computer components preform over what their factory settings are initially. IE. Making a CPU with a factory setting of 2 GHz run at 3.5GHz Overclocked. [/QUOTE]
