Back to my processor though, is the Xtra $10 worth the 2600+ than the 2500+?...Just wonderin if the difference is more than slight ill probably go with the 2600+ but if its very insignificant then Ill proably go with the other....im so worked up about this thing...i dont want to feel like i wasted money.
