Will we feel it with leopard?

[juliancs]

The 'old' macbook pros are ok now, but once leopard comes out, are they still going to be strong computers? Seeing as it is 64-bit and everything...I'm really worried - is this C2D thing + 64bit stuff really new or is the next set of OS's going make anything less than them obselete?

thanks

I dont think 3 months will make your MBP obsolete.

read carefully is the key...

to OP, i dont think it will make CD MBP obsolete, i dont even think it'll make them noticebly slow... but again, we'll see benchmarks...

If anything, you'll probably stand to see performance increases. It appears that Apple is putting a good deal of focus on developing threaded/multi-core-aware apps and frameworks.
