around 7.7% faster
Well, considering that the bus speed and L2 cache are the same, and assuming that you're not doing anything that requires the RAM to be pushed, or you upgrade the 2.16 to 2GB then:
2.33/2.16=1.077
around 7.7% faster
Not really worth the extra money to upgrade in the apple store then. probably wouldn't even notice that
thank you! would it be possible to upgrade the 2.16ghz machines to 3GB RAM?
then again, the 2.33 machine also has double the video memory..

Ugh.
You can't just do 'percentages' when figuring out if a computer is faster or slower.
Noooooooo.
Did 'the megahertz myth' teach you nothing?

Alright guys, the 2.16 MBP against the 2.33 MBP cannot be settled by simple division.
It takes preformance tests, speed tests and an understanding of what type of work your going to be doing on these machines.
If your going to do video or photo editing you probably want the 2.33 because more video ram and the speed bump.
Really, i know he asked for a percentage but its just incorrect to tell him without some sort of disclaimer.

Now, why he couldn't do division by himself confuses me. If you can make a purchase decision on a $2500 machine, then why can't you use a calculator?
I dare say you'll notice very little in terms of real-world performance. The extra 7% comes into play in only the most performance intensive tasks, i.e. video encoding, 3d rendering, etc.I was just trying to figure out how much of a speed difference that is in "real-world" terms. And also from people who've used it.
