I'm looking to buy a mbp, and i can get an awesome deal for the 2ghz core duo version (like 1600) from my mac dealer (400 less), it has an english keyboard (the default here is german :S ), 1.5GB ram(!!!) and I can pick it up today.
so my question is, what will i be missing out on when leopard gets released given that it will not have a core2duo processor with 64bit technology?
i don't really NEED to buy it now, but it seems like an excellent deal, it looks like the retailer is trying to get rid of it because they can't sell it with the ENG keyboard. though i don't much care for the merom speedbump, the 64bit thing has got me asking all sorts of questions, namely will i be missing out on some leopard features or it is just a matter of speed, which, as i said, isn't all that important (i'm still running a athlonXP2000+ PC for my cad stuff and i've never noticed it not being sufficient).
cheers
