hey guys i'm looking to buy the 17" imac within the next month (hopefully). i was looking at the 20" but i decided the bigger screen is not necessary. being a student, it is not worth the money for me. so i'm definitely getting 2 gigs of ram, hd space is not an issue to me so i'm sticking with the 160 gig. the processor is the one thing i'm unsure about.
is it worth the $90 to upgrade to the 2.16? i'll be using it for basic use, a bit of gaming, and when i have the money eventually, music editing programs such as pro tools. anyway, if i upgrade the processor will i see a performance increase worth the $90? thanks.
