I accidentally click on T7500 (2.2 GHZ) instead of T7300 (2.0 GHZ)
I'm on budget so do you think it's worth$59 or should I call CSR tomorrow?
Also do you know if you keep the order # or create a new one?
I need it to show the original date.

I got the T7300 because I know I don't plan on doing any gaming, and primarily using my laptop for URxvt consoles, and VMware so I figured 2ghz would be enough. I'd say it depends on what you plan on using it for if you want it to be worth 59$

If you want to make a change to your order, they will likely make cancel the original order and place a new one.

As for the original question, I personally don't think the T7500 is worth the extra cash unless you have a specific need.

Thanks,
I need to keep yesterday date so I can get the rebate from fatwallet.

Place new order through fatwallet and cancel previous order by phone. You get the cashback, and get what you wanted. If there was a promotion that ended, however, you're obviously better with the original order.

The old rule of thumb was that anything short of doubling the processor speed was undetectable by the user. Since you're asking about a 10% increase in cpu speed, I'd say that you're paying $59 for no noticeable gain.

When I ordered in mid Nov., I thought the T7500 was the sweet spot in terms of price vs performance. It seems worth it to me for only $59 more. For comparison, look at how much the next 10% increase in performance beyond the T7500 costs. It seemed like a bargain to me to get the T7500.
