[QUOTE="6string, post: 1115080, member: 120039"] It really depends on what you're doing as to where you will see the performance gain. The better graphics is also part of the extra $. Future proofing is another factor once again. You can always upgrade the RAM and HD, where as you can't upgrade the processor or graphics chips. For me, if money weren't an issue, also being that here in Oz it's a $600 price difference between the 2.4GHz i5 and the 2.66GHz i7, I certainly would have gone for the i7, even if I didn't need all the power that it packs.
