Hi, im about to buy a Macbook Pro, and have been this whole time looking at the 2.5Ghz 15", but now im not so sure...
What i'll be using it for:
School Work
Web & Graphic Design
Internet
Games (Not alot since i own a PS3, 360 and PSP, just PC Titles)
Xp (For Games)
VMWare (For Windows Live Messenger and Photoshop etc. until i switch to mac versions)
Now, i understand the .1Ghz doesnt make much difference, but does the extra 3mb of Cache? And from PC Experience, Added GPU Ram only helps with higher resolutions.
If anyone has links to a comparison of the 2.4Ghz and 2.5Ghz in things such as games, Photoshop etc. that would be great, as im not paying £187 extra for a couple FPS.
Macbook Pro 2.4Ghz - £1,296 (£1,326 With 4Gb Ram)
2.4Ghz C2D Penryn
2Gb Ram (Will be able to go to 4Gb Sooner)
8600M GT 256Mb
250Gb Hdd
Glossy Screen
Apple Remote
Macbook Pro 2.5Ghz - £1,484
2.5Ghz C2D Penryn
2Gb Ram (Wont be able to afford 4Gb until next year)
8600M GT 512Mb
250Gb Hdd
Glossy Screen
Apple Remote
Also would the 4Gb Ram offer a bigger performance increase rather than more cache and GPU Ram?
Last Q, how much does 2Gb of MBP Ram go for second hand?
