2.0 ghz vs 2.4 ghz: does it really make a noticable difference...?

Not really. If you are browsing the web and word processing I would go with 2.0 GHZ. I would use the extra money to buy the extended applecare or add more memory.

Honestly, the speed means very, very little. You're talking differences of less than 1% performance under most circumstances. 1600MHz is enough for basically everything.

It helps if you're doing any significant overclocking. I run mine at 1.1GHz and some high voltage level that I don't remember offhand, and without heatsinks I couldn't do that with stability.Even at lower clock speeds, the 10-20 celsius difference can make you "feel" better, although I don't know how much of a realistic difference it will make in terms of functionality and useful lifetime.

This one has been very stable up to 4.9 mhz O.C.! And has beed that way since i built the machine. So if what you are arking is if it a faster processor the answer is Yes

Hi mamdouh. Since this is a dual band wireless adapter, the 2.4 GHz has a wider range than the 5GHz network. But, the adapter's speed itself is up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz frequency.

Slightly better but not a significant when it comes to processing power, Classified comes a bit more overclocked. Memory wise, 4gb is great for multiple monitor configurations than 2gigs, also, newer games and mods are requiring more vram lately and 2gb is nowadays barely enough. So you get the same graphics chip but you'll have to tweak a bit the SC to get the same speed aa classified.

2.4 ghz on grave digger and son of a digger. I also bought a Max D which had the old 2.7 ghz.

In the Wireless / Professional / 2.4GHz settings, there is a setting that suggests that there can be such a conflict. It's called, "Reducing USB 3.0 interference." If you enable it, it improves the 2.4GHz wireless range at the expense of USB 3.0 speed.

As far as I know, no. I just looked through the firmware and I don't see any options for 5 GHz.

Let's see.. Literally.. LoL.. If one had perused the specifications, it was laid-out right in front of one's nose, third line..3.0 GHz for CPU speed (Though I hit 4.0 with no problem, even on ol' air-cooling) and.. Bus speed (MHz) :1333.. YuP, there's your FSB (Front Side Bus) speed.. Short of snapping up an old Quad-Core, this is about the best you're going to find for socket LGA775.

I've seen this exact model on other sites and the specs are definitely 2.4GHz. Unless this setup was custom built for Amazon, it is a misprint.

It's hard to pinpoint precisely, but considering you have a socket 775 motherboard, I'm guessing the rest of the hardware is a bit dated too. You will get a speed bump, not a major one. If you couple that cpu upgrade with a SSD hard drive, then you will notice the difference.

No, boards like these are never as efficient as having a motherboard with an embedded interface. That said, there are speed improvements - See my posting for the speed increases I saw.

Had same concern, my order went through as a 2.4 Ghz unit. You might want to contact seller to be 100% sure.

It depends on if you have a quad channel system. If so then yes, it theoretically doubles the bandwidth. If not then no, it doesn't matter. I'm running mine right at 2400mhz and getting 55gb/s system memory bandwidth in my quad channel core I7. Doesn't get any faster than that right now.

I bought the 20inch 2.0 ghz iMac last week. I dont think an upgrade of the CPU is required but wont hurt. I went with a RAM upgrade as I am a developer (100 bucks only for 4GB). It gives good performance with 2.0 ghz CPU.

The graphics on the 2.0Ghz model are perfectly fine for your purposes. I have one of these machines and it is excellent for just what you plan to do. Enjoy!
