now with that chip you may note a difference in speed. Most of the time 2 to 1.5 gig not much but slight, 2.5 to 2.8 the same, but your almost going to 3 and you will see a difference. So If you can get a decent price on a 2.4 to 2. 9 go for it. I say those ranges, because those are the most common chips to find prices on.
