About to pull the trigger on a new Mac Mini with Radeon 6630m and a choice of the standard i5 GHz (2520m) or the optional i7 GHz (2620m), the i7 has MHz more clock speed and an extra 1mb of cache (4mb vs 3mb) but it costs £75 extra.

Any idea what performance difference I will see between the chips? is the upgrade worth £75? I will be dual booting Windows 7 and graphics wise I play a lot of World or Warcraft which is quite CPU intensive.

Thanks for any advice :)
 
The only difference between the two is that the 2620M is 200mhz faster and has 1mb more L3 chache. I would just go for the 2520M, £75 for such little performance increase is not worth it.
