Alright, I just spent all day answering question about the iMac video cards. But one area I am poorly versed in is CPUs. So now it's your turn. 
I have a Macbook Pro 15" from late 2006. The CPU is the 2.16 Core 2 Duo, with an 128MB ATI X1600 GPU. I have 2GBs of RAM. Finally, I have the 120GB 5400RPM HDD.
I want to know how big of a performance gain I can expect to see with the following iMac config:
The Second Best iMac Model with:
24" Screen
The 1TB HDD
4GB RAM
2.93GHz Core 2 Duo
ATi Radeon 4850 512MB
How much of a gain do you think I will see. Obviously graphical performance will be far far better, but I particularly curious about CPU performance. How will that stack up?
