[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 896418, member: 56379"] Remember that performance is a combination of things: - CPU speed - GPU speed - bus speed - ram speed - even hard drive speed (5400 rpm vs. 7200rpm) I believe that the new MacBook Pro's are more advanced in every area listed above vs. your MacBook....so you should see a decent performance increase. BTW...in case you don't have an unlimited budget ;D ...are you sure you need the 3.06ghz processor? That's a $300 premium over the 2.8ghz. Also...if you really NEED more ram...don't get it from Apple. I know Apple charges around $1000 for the 8 gig ram upgrade...I know you can get it for about $650 elsewhere. Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
