The relevant question is whether it's twice as good as a Winnie, Venice, etc.
You are paying a huge premium for a small increase in performance.
If you got the dosh, go for it.

Rumour has it that the FX55 will be renamed the 4200+ to bring it into line with the rest of the models. There's already a 4000+ running at 2.4GHz with 1MB L2cache, which sounds remarkably like the FX53 to me.
.Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
If you really want to spend the extra £500, and then some (maybe), you could get two geforce 6800U SLis, since the mobo supports it. There are even 512MB versions in the product lineup already on one or two manufacturers' sites.
The increase in performance isn't really that big, but it's a big-time e-penis enhancer.
