Is there a big difference in the speed between 2.6 and 2.8 GHZ. In a Pentium 4.
How much of a difference? I
'm asking because I'm planning to buy a computer and there's a 2.6 and 2.8 Ghz computers and the 2.8ghz is a expensier than the 2.6ghz.

Yes, but not much of one.
The 2.8 GHz computer will be faster but it won't be that much faster, if your needs are undemanding then you're unlikely to notice much difference.
Of course I wouldn't expect much price difference between a 2.6 and a 2.8 but if the 2.8 has better components in other areas that might make it a much better computer (it may have more RAM, a bigger hard disk, better graphics, etc).

If the price difference is small then go for the better one, if its more than say $30 I would say forget it. Now sometimes you will get more of other things with the upgrade as well like ram or hard drive.

GHZ is speed, there actually is a big difference between 2.6 and 2.8 GHZ

The difference is not really that significant if you are using for normal Office application .

ABSOLUTELY! ghz is the speed i think they higher the ghz the better but you want something that will not be slow and you don't wanna regret buying it
