Do you think the 2.0 GHz Macbook is powerful enough to run Autodesk Inventor? Would be running Boot Camp with Vista. It's system requirements are:

Processor
* Intel® Pentium® 4
* AMD Athlon® 64
* AMD Opteron® or later (2 GHz or compatible)

Minimum System Requirements (<1,000 Parts)
* 1 GB RAM (5)
* Direct3D 10, Direct3D 9, or OpenGL-capable graphics card, 128 MB (6,7)
* 3.5 GB free hard disk space for installation (8)
* DVD-ROM drive (9)
* Microsoft Mouse-compliant pointing device
* 1,280 x 1,024 screen resolution

Or how much faster/smoother would 2.4 GHz be? Or is it a matter of getting a MBP?

Oh definitely yes. The processor requirements are like 3 years old. Remember the C2D processors have 2 CPUs running at 2GHz. All those processors listed above are a single CPU.
