The more memory your computer has, the more programs you can run simultaneously, and the better performance you get from your computer. Increasing the amount of memory in your MacBook Pro is an easy way to improve performance.
How much memory is right for you?
Choose the standard 2GB of memory to support day-to-day tasks such as email, word processing, and web browsing as well as more complex tasks such as editing photos, creating illustrations, and building complex presentations
Max out your MacBook Pro with the 4GB option to enjoy the greatest possible performance for all your computing tasks.
The MacBook Pro uses one of the fastest memory technologies available today 667MHz, Double Data Rate (DDR2), synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) ensuring that the Core 2 Duo processor is constantly fed with data without wasting clock cycles.
No mention whatsoever of the 800Mhz FSB........

Cute
Now tell me, is it that hard to do something similar to Macbooks?
Without cannibalizing the MBP line?
Yes.
£1,299 = 1,914, which is about the same as elsewhere in Europe. And U.S. prices indeed don't include V.A.T.
I didn't realize the dollar had sunk this low, though.
Still no reason to mess with perfection I say. The one thing I could go for is a purely magnetic latch.
It's gone down £50 in the Uk educational store. Better features less money... great news!
Just need to get my new credit card now and see if WWDC reveals ilife 07

anyway, this update is nice but not revolutionary.
now i have the coice between
a MB 2GB 120GB + ipod for ~$1300 (edu)
a MBP 2GB 120GB + ipod for ~$1800 (edu)
i wonder if the screen and the GPU are worth the $500 to me...............
Did anybody else notice if you select the 160 GB 7200 RPM option then the ship date goes to 4-6 weeks?
Yeah
Also, it makes it cheaper to select the flossy screen instead of matte. And, when I choose the 7,200 rpm HD instead of 5,400, the price doesn't change RE: Shinanigans on Apple
Intel to Formally Launch Conroe Desktop Chip July 27
Is that only for desktops? Or will it be the same stellar deal they gave college students last year!

HD display version of the 17" ordered. Bit gutted it doesnt have the LED display but you cant have everything I guess.
Should be here next week which would be good.

Hard drive differences?
Does anyone have any information on the relative speed differences and power consumption differences between the different hard drive options? I seem to recall reading somewhere that the 4200rpm drive uses perpendicular technology and is effectively faster than the rpm would indicate ...

There easily could be Robson on these machines, but Tiger won't use it, so there's no reason to tout it now.
No XP Drivers
And apparently there are no XP drivers for the video card - so boot camp is out unless you are Vista-ing
