Hi. What will you be using the machine for? That's very important to consider when deciding on specs...
In any case, even the slower I5 processor would give you a lot more horsepower than the core 2 duo 2.66gHz processor. Depending on what you'll be using the machine for, discussing ram is also important.

I do not want to buy into duo core, especially since its already like 3 years old and is set to be replaced by i5s or something like that in the future, I would like this mac to be future proofed as hell, since theytend to last a while. I could also go for a lower processor and a 7200 rpm hardrive, for extra data transfer speeds to a duo core might boost performance? Secondly though, I don't fancy dropping 300 quid or so extra on something that aint worth it. I've done some research but am still unsure, advice? thanks MJ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
