interesting, I use windows through bootcamp on a similar system and it slows to a crawl. Large sites in safari are almost unmanageable and I could site other instances where the processor overtaxes. On my macbookpro core2 duo on the other hand, I have found little to nothing that even slows it down but I don't run windows on it.

I do love my macbook though so small, light and fast.

Good evening Alex,

I've been using a 1.2ghz Core Duo (2mb L2 cache) on a 533mhz bus for a year and a half, the 2.0ghz Core 2 Duo on a 1066mhz bus will be a nice change.

Other than virtualization there is nothing that I do that comes close to taking advantage of my current processor, let alone the new one.

Thanks,
Everett

Hey,

I decided to order the MacBook Aluminum last night 2.0ghz, 4gb, 160gb.

It will be interesting to see the difference in keyboard from the old MacBook to the new.
