Upgrading From 2.16Ghz C2D Blackbook

[menthol moose]

I ordered a new 2.4Ghz model this afternoon with the education discount. I already sold the Blackbook, which was a pre-Santa Rosa model, but does anyone know how much performance will increase on processor specific tasks? Also, is there going to be a significant battery life improvement from that older Macbook to this new one?

Thanks for the help.

Maybe some battery improvement but I wouldn't say you are going to see HUGE improvement.

Do you really need this new machine? I'd say even the Rev A. MacBooks would still be fine for most people.

I said that in the nice form of saying "SPOILED".

It's too late for me not to upgrade, so I'm not going to worry about it right now. Besides, that backlit keyboard looks excellent.
