[QUOTE="MJGUK, post: 212440"] Well firstly and most importantly, if you are using Pro Apps you need to check if they will run natively on Intel Chips yet. If they don't, then they will soon.....But if this is your job we're talking about then you might not want to wait. So check that out. That aside, the machine you quoted would be perfectly good enough for what you need! Many people run those kinds of app/tasks on machines a lot less powerful and a MBP with those specs is a 'really' powerful machine. The difference between 2Ghz and 2.16Ghz is TINY, I'd be amazed if anyone could claim to notice that - So in my view it's just a case of whether you want to pay a premium to be 'At the front of technology'. Not to suggest that 2Ghz Intel Core Duo isn't pretty much at the front of the market either! So essentially no, I don't think this will make a big difference......The Graphics Card 'might' but it would all depend on what you were doing. Most of all RAM will make a valued difference. But then again 1.5GB of RAM is plenty in my view. I think that will run perfectly for you! Good Luck! :) [/QUOTE]
