Compare My MacBook Pros (Please)

[lilnyc]

Are there real significant performance differences between my MacBook Pros? I wonder if the only differences are:

• Touch Pad
• HD space
• Slight Processor Speed Increase

OR is this a new, improved Core 2 Duo? Are there other parts with increased performance that aren't listed in the summarized specs? A friend (also Apple trainer) said there's L6 cache on the new ones -- I like to know things like that.

Thanks in advance

There is no significant difference. The new pros use the Penryn chipset while yours has the Merom. The difference is minute and not worth upgrading for unless you really need a multi touch trackpad

Thank you. I kind of feel like an idiot now. Maybe I can return it if it's unopened. I didn't compare specs before purchasing the new one
