I've been waiting a while like everyone else for the new iMac. My question is this, is it worth the extra money for the 2.4 ghz over the 2.0 ghz.
I was thinking 2.0 with either 320 or 500 hard drive for around $1400-$1520 and maxing out the ram (aftermarket) or 2.4 with 500 hard drive $1770. Both include AppleCare.
I'm not sure i need the better graphics card i very rarely if ever game, I do a little video editing (real basic) so will the 2.4 give me any real advantage.

Thanks to all in advance

RAM and Hard Drive size/speed will make much more difference in video editing than 0.4 ghz of processor speed will.
