I think the biggest difference you would see between the 2.0 and the 2.4 isn't necessarily the processor, but the memory. For $30 the processor jump isn't really all that much between a 2.0 and a 2.4. If you were running them side-by-side, I doubt you'd see too much of a difference. Think an S with bolt-ons compared to a stock S.
The big difference here is the memory. Going from 1GB to 2GB is huge. Memory means a lot more than processor speed nowadays, from what I've encountered.
I totally agree about the bait/switch, in their defense, the unit did actually sell between the time I pulled it up, and when I got to the purchasing step, like some 2-hours had passed, I was gun shy and I simply lost out, oh well

MANY THANKS to you and Ellen
My IT guy said the same thing, 2.0, 2/160 is superior to 2.4, 1/80
I keep looking
Mac of all trades and Teksale still seem to be the best resellers
And I love Gainsaver :sarcasm: take a $484 unit and move it from 2.26, 1/20 to 2.26, 2/120 and the price doubles......

Remember you wondering about white versus black Macbooks. Stick with black. I've seen white macbooks get discolored, grimy etc. Black on a laptop is better.

If you went PC you could even get carbon fiber shells

The laptops are not all that great configuration wise. Really makes one wonder why they lent their name. Applies to Lamborghini as well. Pretty sure the fanboys lapped it up though
