P7350 vs P8600

Alright there is one laptop.
Gateway P-7803H-CA Gaming Notebook - Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 2.0GHz, 17" WXGA+, 4GB DDR3, 500GB SATA, NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTS 1GB, SuperMutli DVD-writer, 802.11abgn, Card Reader, Webcam, Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit ($1200)
Then there is laptop 2
Gateway P-7807u FX Gaming Notebook - Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz, 17" WXGA+, 4GB DDR3, 320GB SATA, NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTS 1GB, SuperMutli DVD-writer, 802.11abgn, Card Reader, Webcam, Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit ($1350)

Now is the speed even going to be noticable with the change from the p8600 to the p7350 im guessing that that performance gain is not something I will notice, in my frames rates of just playing around with my PC right?

The only difference between both of them is the speed and bus/core ratio 7350=7.5 8600=9.0 I havent worked with intel much recently so Im not sure thanks alot guys!

Well in most games u won't notice the difference but in some games,but in some games(mostly RTS games) u will benefit from the extram 400MHZ.
What games/apps are u going to run ?

Ill be playing some CSS/CS/DOTA/CODMW2 I already picked up the 7350 and I've been playing assassins creed and its running really good accept for this dynamic CPU clock rate ***. Is there a way to just keep my CPU at a constant 2.0Ghz as it likes to jump from 800mhz all around non stop.

I saved 200$ over the p8700, so I bought myself another 500gb 7200.4RPM drive now in RAID 0, and I am just going to buy a x9100 maybe as a Christmas present.

I don't know if u can access the BIOS or not,but here is a option called Speedstep and if u disable it your CPU will constantly run @ its regular speeds and won't downclock
