[QUOTE="mknabster, post: 1068344, member: 31565"] The Core 2 Duo is an older processor that was built for DDR2 RAM. The i-series was built for DDR3, which is the newest RAM being built into computers now. Most people wouldn't notice any difference in performance, unless you are a power user. I actually tested a MacBook Pro with a Core i7, and it still couldn't do what I have been trying to do with mine, (create a large Photoshop file with special graphics), the only processor I found that could do it was the Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz on my friend's Mac. So just think of it as being new technology to replace the old stuff. [/QUOTE]
