How much better is the 2499$ macbook pro over the 1999$ one? the only differences i see are the graphics card and the HD and Ghz (.2 increase...how much better is .2?)
As far as gaming goes, how big of a deal is 256 over the 128?
I think it varies from game to game. You'll need to check the specs for the games you wish to play. Otherwise I don't think the extra 128 of VRAM will help you much.
pretty much exclusively Battlefield 2 which requires 128mb
oh and another question...
how much better is a 160g harddrive running at 7200rpm vs a 200g hardrive running at 4200? Id like having the extra space, but id rather have better performance if its that big of a difference

Only get the 2.4 ghz model with the video card with more memory if you know you'll defiantly need it and use it.
See this link for more details.

It is there only for those people who don't care how much something costs, and send their employee to buy "the top of the line."
As far as the hard drive, you won't like 4200 rpm.
But on the other hand, most comparisons haven't shown much advantage of the 7200 over the 5400.
