[QUOTE="Jeff, post: 305902, member: 21285"] Right now, you would be fine with either one. You probably won't get huge differences in performance because most things are still coded for 32 bit operation. Down the road(years, probably not months), you might wish you had a 64 bit processor. I haven't read if the new version of OSX will be 32 or 64 bit, but I'm sure it won't matter. Basically what it comes down to is this- You could save money by getting a Core Duo, but somewhere down the road, you might be kicking yourself for not getting a Core 2 Duo. Today, the diffference isn't going to matter. Tomorrow, the diffference isn't going to matter. Two months from now, the diffference probably isn't going to matter. Three years from now, you would probably be happy that you have a 64 bit processor. [/QUOTE]
