I still have the good video card (radeon x1600) and the machine flies with the extra RAM. The benchmark data that I have seen suggests that there i[URL="http://www.barefeats.com/mbcd6.html"]s a modest performance improvement[/URL] with the C2D chip, but for $500 I was not personally convinced it was worth it.
