[QUOTE="goobimama, post: 476276, member: 17032"] Santa Rosa is not the end of the world is all I can tell you. It only increases battery life while idling due to its ability to rapidly step down its clock speed or FSB whatever. As for other performance benchmarks, its almost the same. Cause even though Santa Rosa processors are different from those on the macbook, they are essentially Meroms. Its only the FSB that has changed. And as for your graphics question, as long as you don't play games or plan on doing intensive 3D stuff, the GMA is more than capable of handling OS X and all its effects. Only, you can't install Final Cut Studio 2, but I wonder who is stupid enough to install FCP2 on a 13 inch screen. Its all about the OS. These small milisecond performance differences aren't going to change your way of working. [/QUOTE]
