Hi, I'm looking to purchase a 15" Macbook Pro within the next two weeks for school. Right now I'm having trouble deciding between the 2.66 and the 2.8 GHz machines.

Basically, I won't be doing a lot of audio/video editing, but I will need to install Windows with bootcamp in order to run programs like AutoCad and Solidworks.

I was wondering if the extra processing power and the 512 MB of video RAM would have a noticeable affect on the computer's speed. I'd obviously like to buy the cheaper MBP, but price is not a major concern.

Thank you for any information
