[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 994612"] Your machine is perfectly capable and should perform very fast. You could probably spend around $200-300 upgrading the RAM and hard drive and upgrading to Snow Leopard, and would have for all intents and purposes an entirely new machine that can play with the big boys except on the graphics card front. I have a machine just ever so slightly above yours, a 2007 2.16GHz C2D with a 320GB hard drive in it and 2GB of RAM. This thing FLIES on the internet, runs Photoshop CS3, the latest iLife and so forth. If you've got the money burning a hole in your pocket, sure wait for the i5 MBP (I don't think the iCore chips are coming to MacBooks anytime soon, but I could be wrong) and buy something new. But for a minimal amount of money I think you'd be QUITE surprised at how much better your present hardware can run. [/QUOTE]
