Hey guys,
This is my first post on the boards and Im wanting to switch from a PC to a Macbook but had some questions on the hardware. I have a windows PC with a Core 2 Duo processor 1.83GHz FSB 667 MHz and 3 GB of DDR2 memory. I am looking at buying a cheap new/used macbook white or find a unibody macbook on eBay. The question i have is I will need this Mac to run me through college so I dont want a unit that will be worse than what I already have. I want a fast Mac.
Also, what kind of performance difference does the increase to 1066MHz FSB on the new macbooks have over the older 667MHz macbooks? Will it be noticeable to a casual user?
Lastly, is the unibody macbook worth the extra money? I know it has a better graphics card and screen but is it worth the money for a starving college kid? Thanks for all your help.
