Just curious to know if anyone is using one of the 1.67 ghz Core Duo model. I never hear about anyone with them.
Got a tip for us?

It was the pre-launch speed, but the base model started at 1.83.
There were none actually in production.

Right before the first MacBook Pros shipped, all of them were bumped up to either 1.83GHz or 2.0GHz. No 1.67GHz MacBook Pros were ever shipped.

Right...as far as I know, everyone who ordered a 1.67 got automatically bumped up to a 1.83, etc. So the only 1.67s out there are pre-production units (testers, etc).
i have the stock 1.83ghz model. i added in an extra gig of gskill ram. runs great. had to bring it in for the monitor whine/cpu whine, but other than that, runs fantastic for what i use it for.
i use it in conjunction with my old g4, which i use as a server.

that was pretty exciting when i got the email saying that my order had been bumped from 1.67 to 1.83ghz at no extra charge. i know it was a placeholder/transition laptop until c2d came out, but its faster than anything i've ever had before, and its faster than anything i'll need for a few years now. i would like a dual layer superdrive, but i got over that before i got the laptop.
