Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - macbook: 2.16 core duo vs 2.33 core 2 duo

I wouldn't consider the impact of 2.16 vs 2.33. I would only upgrade to the 2.33 if the price difference was $100 or less.

Make sure you get a fast hard drive (7200 RPM) and plenty of memory (2GB or more). These two factors will impact your performance significantly. The processor will not be the bottleneck.
