INTEL CORE I5 430M 2 2GHZ

Hello,
Is there a significant difference in speed if I buy a laptop with

intel core I5-430M 2.26ghz processor

vs

intel core I5-520M 2.40ghz processor

both laptops would be same in all other specs:
windows 7
4GB sdram @ 1066 mhz
320 sata harddrive 7200 rpm

If not what is the difference?

The 520M is going to be a little faster due to its higher clock speed, but other than that, you won't see much difference. It probably won't be a real significant difference as its only 140 MHz different.

thanx that eliminated having to debate over whether to pay an extra 120 to buy the 520M
