[...] Yesterday, a significant MacBook Pro upgrade was introduced by Apple by replacing the Core Duo processor with the new Core 2 Duo processor. The C2D has better performance/watt and also higher L2 cache (double!). Not only that, as Alan has pointed out, it is full 64-bit! Nice, eh? [...]
I barely hit 100% CPU utilization on my 1.83 Macbook Pro and that’s with azureus,intellij, openoffice, MySQL, Tomcat, Safari, plus a lot of other stuff. Also memory usage peaks at less than half during regular usage(I have 1.5gb).
The only time I notice any slowdown is on Civ 4 and that is only during the end game.
So nope, while the extra power is good, I don’t really quite need it.
