Hi David, Some benchmark tests would be interesting to do on the 2.0 and the 3.06 processors/ machines. In my humble opinion, it is probably best to go for the fastest you can buy. After all, with the way technology is moving on, like the processor speed and application demand, then isn't it better to go for gold and save the need for upgrading next year? If you know of any useable benchmarking programs, I'd be willing to share the results.
