[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 982386, member: 56379"] Simon, If you're having so many problems with your current MBP...does it really matter how much of a performance difference a new MBP will have? In any case your current MBP has a 2.33ghz CPU...and new MBP's have CPU's speeds of 2.53, 2.66, and 2.80ghz. In my opinion, you will probably see a slight increase in CPU performance (with the faster CPU options)...but the biggest performance increase you will probably see would be with video & graphics performance...since newer MBP's have much better graphics hardware. But to be totally honest...if you don't have any serious graphics or video performance issues...and if you weren't having any problems with your current MBP...I would stick with what you have! I would hate to see you spend a bunch of money unnecessarily. I have a 2.33ghz 17" MBP (same vintage as yours)...and I have absolutely no complaints!:) This is just my humble opinion of course. Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
