A 2 gig cpu is definitely slightly faster than 1.86 or 1.66 ---you will see a difference--a considerable difference---maybe,but not really----i am currently running 3 pc's @ 1.8 gig each and have no troubles with software or any certain apps running properly and all that jazz ya know-----tip----build your own----if your not running a server or any high end stuff like that don't worry about haveing a super computer---it's overkill and company's count on knowlegeless people buying their PC's---ask your self this----am i doing any VIDEO or AUDIO EDITING?????high end duplicating---or system backups for people???????----if you answered no to any or all of these-----you really don't need anything faster-----if your a gamer--a serious gamer---you may want to upgrade!!!!!!!!!!!!!11-----most importantly---the fastest processor is nothing without
ram----max out ram for better performance---and remember that if you have alot running in the background---such as,,,,,virus---spyware-trojan scanners and such---most of these progs are checking everything that happens on your PC

Unless you're doing cpu intensive stuff, you really won't notice that much difference surfing, emailing, and chatting. If you're into gaming or some higher end applications, then more clock is always good. As far as resale, if it has a faster processor, then you're probably going to get a little bit more for it, but by the time you sell it, it probably won't make that big of a deal.

These is clearly a difference between these processors. However,
unless you look at software bencharks you are very unlikely to notice it on everyday task like word processing and browsing. Things that make a noticable difference to performance are having more memory, and the speed of the graphics card. These tend to be performance bottlenecks these days.

If you're talking about laptops, yes that is. It goes like this: a 1,6 ghz laptop processor is equivalent to a 2,4 ghz desktop processor. So yes , it has a huge importance, and is more valuable.

your are referring to the speed of the cpu, so, Yes the fasted the cpu the more that cpu will cost

It really doesn't matter as you are not an high-end user...
