I've got questions about what speeds I might be able to expect on my two processor speed choices for my new iMac i'll be ordering in the next few weeks.

Choice are...
  • 2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
  • 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7


I'll be putting 8gb of ram in it as well.

My question is what difference I might expect between the i5 and the i7. I've grown complacent in my knowledge of processor power and I'm just unsure how different these two options are.

I'll be 5 boxing. Mostly PVE so I don't need perfect framerate or anything super high end like that.

Anyone got 2 cents to throw my way? Anyone already playing on one of these?
