[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 361894, member: 24160"] Haven't seen any speed comparisons between them. I would venture to guess that as pure processor power goes the MBP's 2.16 will be on par with the E6400 due to double the cache. Think there is a bigger bottleneck with the hard drive at 5400 vs a desktop running an SATA II at 7200. The E6600 probably is a good 10% faster over all. However, with either one of the desktop chips, the right motherboard, and a little overclocking expertise, both of them can blow the MBP out of the water. The E6400 is a fine chip and at a good price point for overclocking and can pretty easily be pushed beyond all but the E6800 on air. [/QUOTE]
