I was thinking on purchasing a Macbook core duo 1.83ghz, i was wondering if you can really notice the diffrence between this and the new core 2 duo MacBook.
thanks
thanks
Well i wish i had enough money, im a student see, do you know any were, where i can get a cheap one then thanks for the help
Hm, If you can go for he new c2d definatly go fo a refurbed 2ghz core duo. Itwill have a superdrive, which you may think you dont need, and it will also be faster.
Good luck!
ill keep a look out, thanks again...so core 2 duo is much better i take it
, i think i can get it on educational discount, quite alot cheaper

MacBook Pro 2.0 GHz Core Duo with 2GB RAM
100,000 - 5.160 sec.
250,000 - 33.010 sec.
Macbook T7200, 2x1GB RAM.
I only took three trials of each just to be a bit more accurate
100,000: 4.420, 4.430, 4.430
250,000: 28.240, 28.229, 28.250
That's it, I'm getting the 2.33Ghz MBP
iMac 2.33Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAM.
100,000: 3.780 seconds
250,000: 24.110 seconds
Notice performance difference from Core Duo and Core 2 Duo from this thread.
Seems like the C2D is a bit faster but only a few seconds:
and thats comparing a 2ghz cd to as 2.33ghz c2d keep in mind
If you save the extra cash and buy a refurb now, by the time your machine is obsolete you can take out the cash you've saved, add a bit on to it, and buy a new refurb then.
Getting the greatest and latest may sound good against obsolence in theory, but since computer speeds almost double every 18 months it is pointless paying like 50% more for that potentially 20% increase in speed.
Says the man with the new MBP
The immediate differences will be minor, but slightly noticeable.
Once more 64bit platform software comes out (like Leopard), there will be huge differences.
May as well invest early.
