will it have any significant fast difference if we try it over the net and to install it and test it right from our mbp?
 
ok here's my test

is it good?
 
Ummn, perhaps compare it to other posts in the thread.

All in all they are all the same performance when the specs are the same.

I'm getting ready to get a MBP 17, my current PC is in a state of serious downfall. Just for fun, I ran the geekbench test....tell me what you all make of this. Something is not right...
