For an extra $50, I would definitely upgrade to the better one. It will only make a small difference, but it is worth it depending on what games you are playing. They are both Centrino 2 processors and the only difference will be their clock speeds.

it will only make a difference if its a P4 or core 2 duo or a dual core or a celeron or a centrino or if you are comapring an AMD at 1 speed and an Intel at another speed then it will make a HUGE difference…

but might make difference would be bus speed and speed of memory and speed of hdd and type of hard drive

remeber 4 gigs will not work correctly in a 32 bit version of XP or Vista
as they both tank out at 3Gigs…

No difference. Get more RAM.

2.4 or 2.26GHz will not make a big difference. But it’s up to you to decide if you can afford the extra 50 bucks.
Laptops and gaming don’t go well together. And it will probably be your video card that will be the bottleneck, not your CPU or memory.
So playing newer games on high quality will probably not be possible.
