Well, if you're ok with spending 60% more money on 10% better performace then go ahead.

I'm personally not made of gold though, so I'd go for the better price/performance.

But laptops have totally different CPUs. They remodel them for laptops and they lose a lot of power.

The chip architecture of the 2500k is different, too (if I'm not mistaken).

I think you're mistaken.

The 2500 and 2600 are pretty much the same cpu, just that 2600 has hyperthreading and overclocks ~5% better than 2500, maybe (5% really is NOTHING though..).

Also; Hyperthreading won't matter in most applications.

Oh yea. That's probably true.
