Should I be concerned with the difference between the two and settle for a 1.8? What am I giving up if I do? Anyone know?
 
There is little or No noticable diffrence with just GHZ, but there might be a diffrence in the L2 Cache, and that would be noticable.
 
They're both 2mb. The 6600 is the 4mb. I think I'm going to setlle for a 1.8 and spend the extra on Video Card or Ram.
 
i'd go for the 1.8 if everything else is equal. you can always overclock it and use the money you saved to buy more stuff.
 
Always buy the best computer you can afford to keep obsolescence at bay for as long as possible. :thumbsup:

I've bought the low-end Mac offering a few times in my life only to have buyer's remorse creep in three months later when the machine was no longer even being offered for sale.
 
I do the reverse now. I buy the last generation on clearance, this way I don't feel bad when I buy and then a new supercomputer comes out a month later.
 
I hear ya, Brody... :) It's all about preferences - both financial and equipment.

As for me, I'm operating on two old G4 desktops (circa 1999 and 2001) and a G4 Powerbook (circa 2003). Suffice to say, I'm getting a new system this Summer and I want it to grow as long in the tooth as have my current crop. I plan to buy the top desktop offering at the time.
 
I am definitely going to get the best PC desktop I can at the moment. I can work on a G5 at work when I need Final Cut, etc, and go home to do everything else. And then later this year I'll pick up my own Intel Mac; whether that be a Core 2 Extreme or an Octo/Eight core.
