never go cheap on the processor. Its the hardest thing to upgrade, usually impossible (with the time frame which sockets change). And the corei3 is not a good processor. However, for an extra $200, you should be in the corei7 range, like the corei7 620M (2.66GHz, 4MB L3, 1066MHz). Dell is known to overcharge for processor upgrades.
-i dont think its worth it, but at the same time if this is all dell offering i dont think dell is worth it. Look at lenovo.
